The peace process in Nepal has become nobody’s concern. The culture of impunity has prevailed unabated, the Maoist combatants continue languishing in their cantonments, and the Maoists have not yet returned the seized property, houses and land to the real owners. The list is goes on. This book mainly covers the period from November 22, 2005, to January 14, 2009, and discusses the peace initiatives taken during the period. The book has been divided into six chapters. The first introduction chapter provides the background of the decade old armed conflict and depicts the picture of the insurgency and militarization in the country. The second chapter describes the various initiatives taken to restore peace. The third chapter includes the transition from the 12-point Understanding to the declaration of the Ceasefire Agreement. The fourth chapter is concerned with the monitoring of the peace process. The last chapter includes the conclusions reached in the book.
