Donors, the UN and AIN condemn attacks on UN and CARE offices

We condemn the recent explosions at the offices of Care Nepal in Janakpur, and the International Organisation of Migration in Jhapa, as acts that will only serve to deny peace and development to the people of Nepal. Fortunately there were no casualties.

Donors, the UN and the Association of International NGOs in Nepal (AIN), many of whom are signatories to The Basic Operating Guidelines which helped allow impartial development work to continue during the conflict, are committed to deliver development activities for all of Nepal's diverse people.

We remain impartial in our development activities in Nepal and look forward to their resolution through dialogue and understanding between all political and social groups. At the same time, we expect all groups to accept the Basic Operating Guidelines wherever development activities are being carried out, and urge all concerned groups to cease threats or violence against development workers and their offices.
