KATHMANDU: President Ramchandra Paudel has said all sides’ cooperation is imperative to make the March 5 election friendly to human rights in order to strengthen democratic system.

“The political development unfolded after the Gen Z movement is observed by all Nepalis and the international community with keen interest.

So, positive roles are warranted from all sides- government, political parties, civil activists, youth campaigners and commoners,” President Paduel said while giving a message of best wishes on the occasion of Human Rights Day today.

In the message given on the 77th Human Rights Day, President Paudel said at a time when all nations across the world were concentrating in building a just and equitable society, Nepal too needs to be further active to enforce the fundamental rights enshrined in the constitution.

“Human Rights Day is being observed with much importance across the world. Human right is an inherent right. Nepal’s constitution has reinforced the freedoms, equality and justice as mentioned in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR),” the Head of State said.

He further reminded that Nepal, a party to several human rights conventions, has showed its commitment to protection, promotion and fulfillment of human rights. President Paudel also believed all tiers of government, human rights bodies, media and civil society organizations would contribute from their sides to ensure human rights, freedoms and justice.

Economic, cultural and social dimensions of human rights help in strengthening individual freedoms and democratic system, according to him.
