NEW YORK: United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, paid a courtesy call on Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli at the Office of the Permanent Representative of Nepal to the UN in New York today.

PM Oli is currently in New York, the USA, in connection with participating in the 79th United Nations General Assembly, leading the Nepali delegation.

Nepal's peace process could be a model for the world 

On the occasion, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Türk, expressed his happiness over the endorsement of the legislations related to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Commission of Investigation on Disappeared Persons, the two laws connected to finalisation of the peace process in Nepal. 

In the meeting, Türk stated that this topic of political consensus in Nepal could be a model for the world, according to Bishnu Prasad Rimal, the Principal Advisor to PM Oli, who was present during the meeting. 

Similarly, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights agreed that climate justice is inevitable in Nepal, as the melting of snow in the mountains of Nepal due to global warming will affect the world. 

Prime Minister Oli stressed giving equal and strategic value to climate justice issues to protect the human race in the world.
PM Oli's Principal Advisor Rimal, Foreign Secretary Sewa Lamsal, and Nepal's Permanent Representative to the UN, Lok Bahadur Thapa were present during the meeting.
