For the benefit of the members !! UN to take over Nepal, hold polls 13 July 2005: King Gyanendra and the Maoist insurgents have agreed for the UN to administer Nepal for a year within which internally-monitored elections will be held, and the scheme presented to UN secretary general Kofi Annan by US secretary of state Condoleezaa Rice was structured by India while the UK and Belgium co-sponsored it. Under the scheme, Gyanendra will hand over executive powers to the UN, while retaining the office of the constitutional monarchy, and the king gave in after the US threatened dispatch of a multinational force to take over Nepal and return it to democracy, and the Maoists relented coming under extreme pressure from the Royal Nepalese Army. During the one year of UN administration, twenty developments projects will be taken up in remote areas of Nepal, law enforcement institutions will be revived to restore public confidence, and elections will be held soon after, and the Maoists have agreed to negotiate peace in this while. ?The king was given examples of heads of state around the world who were being tried for human rights violations, and he got scared and consented to give up his powers to the UN,? a diplomat said.
