Appeal to participate
in recommending NRN related issues into the new Constitution of Nepal



 



Dear Friends,                                                                  



The Government of Nepal through its local resident
Embassies/Missions in respective countries has asked NRN communities to provide
suggestions on the incorporation of NRN related issues into the new
Constitution of Nepal. 



NAC, the NRNA National Coordination Council of  America 
is committed to represent the interests of Non Resident Nepalis in America
and asking all Nepali community members in the United States to help the Task
Force by providing ideas and suggestions concerning their interests as
NRNs.   The goal of all NCCs and NRNA-ICC is to make sure that NRNs
interests and recommendations are incorporated into the new Constitution of
Nepal.  



 The specific work  of the Task Force  is to solicit
ideas and suggestions from the Nepali American communities; develop a set of
recommendations and present them to the Board of Directors of NRNA-NCC of
America for endorsement.  Upon approval by the Board, the final set of
recommendations will be submitted to the NRNA-ICC, with a copy to local
resident missions of Nepal.

The broadly identified areas:



             1.      
Dual Citizenship



2.       Investment related laws,
such as commercial bench, tax treaties, arbitration laws, time bound issues,
etc



3.       Women inheritance rights



4.       NRN's inheritance rights



5.       Constitutional provisions
for gender, employment and age discrimination



6.       Issues related to
human rights, and any other issues concerning the rights of NRNs' to be secured
in the new Constitution of Nepal



 If you feel that there are some other specific NRN issues or
interests not included in the broadly categorized list above, please do write below. Your
participation is critical to have our NRN voices to be heard and our interests
reflected in the new constitution of Nepal.



Thanking you in advance for your valuable contributions and active
participation in this important task.
