Unrest in Nepal this past fall has affected public safety and the rule of law. Courts and police stations have been ransacked, judicial processes disrupted, and thousands of inmates escaped from prisons. These events have raised widespread concerns about safety and the rule of law in Nepal. Even the U.S. Department of State, now urges Americans to reconsider travel to Nepal. The crisis has also caused severe economic damage, with losses estimated at $22.5 billion, nearly half of Nepal’s GDP.
