A Model for Peace in Nepal?

This paper looks at how far Nepal has progressed along the road to peace and at the prospects for the process to continue staying on track.

Since the extraordinary People’s Movement of April 2006, Nepal has been moving steadily, to the surprise of some, down the path to peace. If politicians on all sides can keep their nerve, and their commitment to peace and genuine democracy, then Nepal will have elections this June that will take it one more huge step forward to the modern, human rights-respecting democracy that its millions of demonstrators so powerfully called for last April.
