No.3910 ネパール:3人の村の少年がマオイストグループに強制的に徴兵されました。

(ジュネーブ発 1月24日)

 SOSトーチャー国際事務局は、ネパールにおける下記の状況に関して皆様の緊急の働きかけをお願いします。


<事件の概要>

SOSトーチャー国際事務局はアドボカシー・フォーラムより、2007年1月12日にシヴァ・K・C(通称ティラック・バハドゥール)さん(15歳)と、ティカ・ラム・ニウレさん(15歳)、ラメシュ・パリヤールさん(15歳)がマオイストのグループに強制的に入れられたという情報を入手しました。

情報によると、マオイストの文化グループが被害者たちの村(住所:Baglung Municipality ?7, Chharikhola)に2006年12月23日から滞在していました。マオイストは一ヶ月ほど村に滞在し、村人の家で寝泊まりし、食事を提供させていました。

マオイストは文化活動のトレーニング・キャンプを行いました。村人たちや被害者の親の証言によると、早朝から運動や文化研修が行われたということです。早朝トレーニングのあと、学校に行くためにキャンプを離れた若者もいましたが、そのままトレーニングを続けた者もいたということです。

数週間キャンプに参加し、マオイストの給料を払うという約束に誘惑されたティラックさんとティカさん、ラメシュさんは、両親の反対にもかかわらず帰宅せず、マオイストに入ったということです。

マオイストのリーダーのナル・バハドゥール・B・Kは、この3人の少年は「自分たちの未来のために」マオイストに入ったと言いました。彼は、この3人にはしばらくは連絡をとることができない、親や村人が次に彼らに会うことができるのは、文化グループが再び村を訪れた時だと言いました。

SOSトーチャー国際事務局は、マオイストと政府軍の戦いに多くの子どもがかり出されており、2006年11月21日に両者が和平協定を結んだにもかかわらず、子どもたちが強制的に徴兵されつづけていることを指摘します。

<行動要請>

 ネパール関係当局に以下の内容の要請をお願いします。

1.3人の少年の所在を直ちに探しだし、家に帰れるよう保障すること。

2.ネパール政府とネパール共産党(マオイスト)が2006年11月21日に署名した和平協定を尊重して実施すること。同和平協定には、「両者ともあらたな軍事要員を徴兵しないこと」(パラ5.1.2)と、「両者とも女性と子どもの権利を特別な方法で守り、児童労働や性的搾取・虐待を含む子どもおよび女性に対するあらゆる形態の暴力を即時停止することに、無条件で同意する。また両者は、18歳以下の子どもを軍隊に含めたり軍隊で使用しないことに、無条件で同意する。この被害を受けた子どもは、即時に救出され、リハビリテーションのための必要で適切な支援を受ける。」(パラ7.6.1)。

Home Minister Krishna Prasad Sitaula
Government of Nepal, Ministry of Home Affairs
Singha Durbar, Kathmandu, Nepal

Dear Minister Sitaula,

I am writing you to express my concern at the report of forced recruitment of three boys (Baglung Municipality -7, Chharikhola) by the Maoist group in December last year. I would like to urge you to take the actions mentioned below:

1. To immediately locate the whereabouts of the three boys and ensure their comeback in their homes;

2. To respect and implement the Peace Agreement between Government of Nepal and Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) signed on 21 November 2006 requesting that “Both sides shall not recruit additional armed forces” (para. 5.1.2) and that “Both sides fully agree to protect the rights of the women and children in a special way, to immediately stop all types of violence against women and children, including child labour as well as sexual exploitation and abuse. They also fully agree not to include or use children who are 18 years old and below in the armed force. Children thus affected would be instantaneously rescued and necessary and suitable assistance would be provided for their rehabilitation” (para.7.6.1).

I thank you for your kind attention to my request.

Yours truly,

Case NPL 240107.CC

Forced recruitment of children


The International Secretariat of OMCT requests your URGENT intervention in the following situation in Nepal.

Brief description of the situation:

The International Secretariat of OMCT has been informed by Advocacy Forum about the forced recruitment by the Maoists on 12th January 2007 of Shiva K. C. alias Tilak Bahadur K. C.(15 years old), Tika Ram Niure (15 years old), and Ramesh Pariyar (15 years old).

According to the information received, a Maoists cultural group had been staying in the victims’ village (Baglung Municipality -7, Chharikhola) from 23rd December 2006. For the period they stayed in the village (about one month), the Maoists ate and slept in villagers’ houses. They opened a training camp for cultural programs. According to villagers and parents’ victims’ testimonies, early in the morning physical and cultural trainings were given. Whereas some adolescents left the camp after to go to school the rest of the day, others stayed for further training.

Finally, after attending the training camp for weeks, and tempted by Maoists’ promises of a salary, on 12th January 2006, Tilak, Tka and Ramesh did not come back at home and joined the Maoist group, despite their parents’ disapproval.

The Maoists’ leader Nar Bahadur B.K. told that the three boys had joined the Maoists “to shape their future”. He said they could not be contacted right then and that families and villagers would only be able to see the three boys the next time the cultural troop will come in the village.

OMCT recalls that a lot of children have been used in the conflict between the Maoists and the governmental army and continue being forcefully recruited, despite the Peace Agreement signed on 21st November 2006 between the two parties.

Action Requested:

Please write a letter to the authorities in Nepal urging them to:

i. Immediately locate the whereabouts of the three boys and ensure their comeback in their homes;

ii. Respect and implement the Peace Agreement between Government of Nepal and Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) signed on 21 November 2006 requesting that “Both sides shall not recruit additional armed forces” (para. 5.1.2) and that “Both sides fully agree to protect the rights of the women and children in a special way, to immediately stop all types of violence against women and children, including child labour as well as sexual exploitation and abuse. They also fully agree not to include or use children who are 18 years old and below in the armed force. Children thus affected would be instantaneously rescued and necessary and suitable assistance would be provided for their rehabilitation” (para.7.6.1).
