The human rights activists affiliated to Accountability Watch Committee have protested the government decision of approving the names recommended as the chairpersons and the commissioners of Commission on Investigation of Disappeared Persons (CoIDP) and Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). The government decision of February 10 was not intended to give a sense of justice to the victim and was politically-motivated, the AWC said in a statement issued on February 11. “AWC expresses serious protest at the formation of the Commissions without changing the provisions of granting amnesty to perpetrators of grave human rights violations due to the vested political interest and intention of forwarding guided transitional justice process while disregarding the writ petition sub judice in the Supreme which has asked for amendments in the TRC Act”, the statement read. It further said that the recommendation committee, which overlooked the victims and human rights stakeholders to collect the names for commissioners was criticized by the AWC adding that it would remind that that it had been making several demands and providing suggestions for making transitional justice process pro-victims and judicial. AWC has warned that it would not be providing co-operation to the Commissions formed without addressing the demands of the conflict victims and the human rights community and disregarding the concerned international legal provisions.
