Impunity or lack of fear of punishment not only weakens the concept of the rule of law but also violates the human rights of others, the victims and society at large. Human rights violations in Nepal are taking place on a day-to-day basis.

This study seeks to document the level of impunity in Nepal and identify areas and actions that may be undertaken to remedy the situation.
