Holistic Rehabilitation Support to the Cases of Human Right Violation

Introduction: –  The armed conflict, also popularly known as the People’s War, between the years 1996 and 2006 claimed the lives of 13,000 people and displaced an estimated 200,000 and more. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 5 clearly prohibits torture in any case. Besides all the international conventions and declarations signed by the country, the constitution of 1990 and the interim constitution of the period also strictly prohibited torture. Though the war has ended, the effects of trauma and torture still remain inflicting pain and suffering on victims. Torture victims are in dire need of holistic rehabilitation services to reintegrate them into their communities of origin.
