Acknowledging oppression, forced eviction, and suffering experienced by tens of thousands of Bhutanese citizens during the late 1980s and early 1990s, and encouraging steps toward justice, reconciliation, and lasting peace.
This resolution formally acknowledges the oppression and forced displacement of over 100,000 Nepali-speaking Bhutanese citizens during the late 1980s and early 1990s, and it calls for justice and reconciliation. It declares the Royal Government of Bhutan responsible for these human rights violations and urges the release of political prisoners, restoration of revoked citizenships, and the return of displaced citizens from refugee camps in Nepal. The measure also requests the establishment of an independent Truth Commission to investigate past abuses and recommends ongoing peacebuilding efforts between Bhutan and Nepal.
