"Mr President, the situation in Nepal has been causing constant concern to observers for many years. It is true that the first reasonably democratic elections were held there in 1959, but those democratic measures were very unstable and were rent asunder by acts of aggression. In recent years, it seemed we were witnessing a certain amount of progress in terms of security. First, in 2006, the Complex Peace Agreement was made, ending a civil war which had wasted the country for a decade. Later, in 2008, elections to the Constituent Assembly were held, which international observers deemed to have met a number of international standards.
Now, however, it is with regret that we have to note a deterioration of the situation in Nepal. The recent decision made by the political parties on the necessity for action to extend the mandate of the Constituent Assembly may be a significant step towards a return to peaceful government in the country. The European Union and the Member States should support every effort intended to establish understanding and stability in Nepal. We should also draw attention to the need to respect human rights and the rights of Christians, because, unfortunately, these too are being violated in Nepal."@en1
