Statement to the Press by Ian Martin, Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Nepal

The United Nations expresses its condemnation of the bomb attacks which have killed and injured Kathmandu citizens today, and its condolences and sympathy to the victims and their families. The Nepalese have shown a great capacity to resolve difficult issues through peaceful dialogue, and I have no doubt that acts of terror will discredit whatever cause they are claimed to promote with the Nepalese people as well as the international community.
