#Nepal #transitionaljustice I strongly urge all the political parties in the government, the main opposition, as well as the 'sovereign' house itself, not to ignore the victims' plight, outrage and patience but to be accountable towards their truth seeking, reparative needs, memory, dignity and prevention, and to take the current transitional justice act further without delay. Authorities must listen voices of ground-level victims and survivors to address their NEEDS and key demand of truth, justice and reparations. #solutionislocal #victimagencymatters https://lnkd.in/deWnQkvC

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons have remained defunct for two years. Not a single discussion has been held on the amendment bill to the Enforced Disappearances Enquiry, Truth and Reconciliation Commission Act since the formation of the new ruling coalition in March. And the committee formed to recommend the office bearers in the two transitional justice commissions has not held a single meeting. Yet both the transitional justice commissions are getting one more extension. #transitionaljustice https://lnkd.in/gXTYRBcX

✍️ 'Sack civil servants who don’t show up to work,' writes James Price The #Government, and indeed every government, rightly comes in for wave after wave of abuse for their myriad failings across multiple fronts. But when I say “government” you are likely, and understandably, to think about the 100 or so ministers, or perhaps the cadre of roughly 100 “special advisers”, of which I am a recovering alumnus. But those 200 or so people are the only ones who change when a new administration comes in, and are also the ones who can be “held accountable” in any meaningful sense when things go wrong. When was the last time you heard of one of the tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of civil servants taking real responsibility for their mistakes? An inability to move people on who aren’t up to the task would not be tolerated in the private sector, but in the public sector it is par for the course. The state is now so enormous that it’s impossible for senior #politicians to catch all the failures on a day-to-day basis, let alone get the space to look at bigger structural weaknesses. This is partially why, along with a diminution in the quality of elected representatives, there are so many major mistakes and failings. And now we are hearing that to try to coax Britain’s “Rolls Royce” civil servants back into Whitehall departments, #Cabinet Office minister John Glen wants to ensure that making full use of offices is factored into their annual reviews. Things are bad enough when #officials do actually turn up. Look at the Home Office officials who have reportedly disobeyed instructions around immigration enforcement because they thought it too mean and nasty for a sovereign nation to try to control its borders. They obfuscate, run down the clock until it is too late to action ministers’ commands, and many will subtly attempt to subvert the Government’s agenda. Read more ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/eUwEMjBS

The Victorian Allan Labor government is fast losing the support of progressive supporters in this State on critical social policy issues, such as #Housing #Health and #JuvenileJustice The Victorian State Government has today reversed its long-applauded commitment to raise the age of criminal responsibility for children aged 10, 11, 12 and 13. In the face of unanimous support from those with expertise in the field of child brain development, the Victorian Government has bowed to the constant lobbying of the Police Association, who purport to know more. Who determines critical Social Policy in Victoria? The remaining government commitment to change the age jurisdiction for children aged 10 & 11 will only impact on LESS THAN TEN PER CENT of the population aged 10, 11, 12 & 13. The critical change required is the commitment that was made to extend that age jurisdiction to include the 12-year-olds and 13-year-olds (90%). There was no intention in Victoria at least to change any of the key legislation in relation to 14-, 15-, 16- & 17-year-olds, who are the age group known to commit the vast majority of serious crimes, including crimes of violence. They are the ones featured prominently in the Tabloid 'news'. Overall, statistically, youth crime is going down across the country, despite the saturation coverage in the nation's media to the country. Where there are serious problems in some communities, governments still are focusing on control and not engagement, which have never been shown to work. Australia will not begin to address the over representation of Indigenous Peoples in the ADULT prison system if the States & Territories fail to divert vulnerable young children from the widening net of the criminal justice system. This latest regressive law 'reform' in Victoria undermines that National goal for at least a decade. This is the actual consequence of this Victorian political compromise. It will be recorded in history as a dramatic pragmatic compromise by Victorian Labor. I have seen at first hand how this transition from juvenile justice to criminal careers works, over a period of 30 years' direct involvement in juvenile justice and high security adult prisons. There are solutions from those who know about the development of a lifelong criminal identity. The Victorian Government has decided instead to be controlled by the lobbying of the Police Association and an Opposition desperate to obtain power for the interests of the rich and powerful and privileged. #Victoria #Melbourne #crime #youth #children #crimeprevention #juvenilejustice #restorativejustice #TreatyforVictoria #DeakinUniversity #DeakinCriminology #VictorianGreens #Greens
Children need love and support – not convict-era mindsets about punishment that have a devastating and grossly disproportionate impact on Aboriginal people. Today the Government broke its promise. They are walking back on its promise to raise the age at which children can be sent to prison to 14. The Assembly joins Aboriginal leaders and front line organisations in condemning this decision. Assembly Co-chair, Ngarra Murray, said: “Like every Aboriginal mother hearing this news, I am deeply disappointed and concerned. Children need support to learn from mistakes, not getting caught up in a broken system that inflicts more harm than good." You can read our full statement at: https://lnkd.in/gQ56BZST

Suspensions and expulsions are not the answer. The system needs an overhaul. Our focus needs to be supporting young people to make better decisions and feel as though they belong. https://lnkd.in/gbY7cD4K
