My Lords, I thank the Minister for that reassurance. However, two years after the end of the civil war, the Nepal Army is still resisting police investigation, which is quite legitimately required by civilians, into cases of alleged extrajudicial killings. There were 47 cases of alleged killings, disappearances, torture in custody or rape committed by the security forces between 2002 and 2006. That figure does not include the atrocities by the Maoist forces. Will the Minister confirm that he met the army chief of staff, General Katawal, who gave him a personal reassurance that the army would comply with these investigations? What can the international community and the UN do about this to further the cause of human rights in Nepal?

My Lords, does the noble Baroness agree that an important factor is the awareness of the Sudanese people themselves of human rights abuse? Since there is a number of respected NGOs and legal aid agencies in Sudan, are the Government giving them encouragement?
