".
This conflict has cost 12 000 lives over the last decade, many of them civilians from among the most vulnerable sections of the population. Amnesty International has reported that tens of thousands of children are abducted from schools by Maoist fighters to attend so-called political education and some, of course, are recruited as child soldiers.
The security forces are also guilty of violations of children's rights. The extrajudicial killings of young people and others must stop. All abuses by the security forces must be properly investigated. All political prisoners must be released or tried under due process of law. I welcome the Maoist ceasefire and I hope there will be an indefinite extension to this, but the King must reciprocate and he must also engage in constructive talks.
We in the EU must also play our part. I call on the Council and the Member States to continue the suspension of military aid and call for all aid to be monitored and for certain sanctions to be imposed. This really is to put pressure on the King and the government to restore democracy in Nepal. It is long overdue."@en1
