Subject: Urgent Appeal: Violation of Human Rights in Nepal – Police Shooting School Students

Dear United Nations Human Rights Council,

I am writing to raise an urgent appeal regarding the grave human rights violations currently occurring in Nepal. Recent incidents reveal that police forces have opened fire on students wearing school uniforms, resulting in the tragic deaths of at least 16 Gen Z so far.

These actions constitute serious breaches of international human rights law, specifically under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC, 1989) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR, 1966):

Relevant UNCRC Articles Violated

Article 6: Every child has the inherent right to life, and states must ensure maximum survival and development.

Article 19: Children must be protected from all forms of violence, including excessive force by authorities.

Article 37(a): No child shall be subjected to torture, inhuman, or degrading treatment.

Relevant ICCPR Articles Violated

Article 6(1): Everyone has the inherent right to life, and this right must be protected by law.

Article 24(1): Children are entitled to special protection as minors under international law.

The unjustified killing of students particularly those in school uniforms and unarmed represents a direct violation of the right to life and could trigger international accountability under both conventions.

I have attached supporting photos and videos as evidence of these serious violations. I respectfully request the United Nations Human Rights Council and other relevant bodies to:

Launch an urgent investigation into the unlawful killing of students.

Hold accountable those responsible for ordering and executing the use of lethal force.

The situation in Nepal requires immediate global attention. The lives and rights of Nepalese children are in imminent danger, and intervention from the international community is crucial to uphold the principles of human dignity, justice, and protection of minors.

Thank you for your urgent attention and support in addressing this humanitarian crisis.
