  • Amnesty International Nepal (also referred to as Amnesty Nepal or AI Nepal) was founded in Nepal in 1969 by Nutan Thapaliya as an affiliate of the global human rights movement Amnesty International. Two years later, AI Nepal received the status of a "section" at the International Council Meeting (ICM) of Amnesty International in 1971. Due to the difficult environment caused by the repressive Panchyat regime and other difficulties, AI Nepal was dissolved as a Section in 1982. However, the Amnesty movement survived and continued to thrive on in Nepal at the membership level as the very committed members at the groups level continued to engage in different activities to further the AI’s vision in Nepal and elsewhere. After the restoration of democracy in 1990, the AI movement gained further strength in Nepal, and a Coordinating Structure led by Mr Chitra Niraula was constituted by the International Secretariat. The AI movement in Nepal was again recognized as a Section of Amnesty International in 1993. Since then, AI Nepal has been actively engaged in furthering the human rights in Nepal and around the globe by keeping its membership base vibrant, agile and responsive. Currently, AI Nepal has over seven thousand active members affiliated through its various local structures such as Groups and Youth Networks. Amnesty Nepal envisions a world where every person enjoys all human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as well as within other international human rights standards and norms. In order to achieve this, Amnesty Nepal strives to undertake research and action-focused advocacy campaigns to prevent and end all forms of human rights abuses. Amnesty Nepal is a constituent of the global community of human rights defenders with values of international solidarity, effective action for victims, global coverage, universality and indivisibility of human rights, and with impartiality and independence as the driving factors in this global movement.
