Summary
This is the sixth and final report of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to the Human Rights Council on the human rights situation and the activities of her Office in Nepal. The Government of Nepal has decided not to renew the mandate of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to operate a field presence in Nepal beyond 8 December 2011. The report reviews the human rights situation in Nepal during 2011 in relation to 10 priority human rights areas and major developments.
