Land, Property and Reparation

Land, property, and reparations issues played an increasingly important role in reconciliation, peacebuilding, and reconstruction efforts and were significant rehabilitation tools for countries in transition. Nepal continued to recover from the decade-long armed conflict (1996-2006), which resulted in gross human rights violations. These violations remained largely unaddressed, with significant gaps in the provision of relief and access to justice for conflict victims, especially survivors of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence (CRSV). Building on past successful coordination and partnership with the Government of Nepal, IOM continued its work in the areas of victims' assistance programs, improving access to services and justice.
