Nepal

Nepal is a federal democratic republic. The 2015 constitution established the political system, including the framework for a prime minister as the chief executive, a bicameral parliament, and seven provinces. Domestic and international observers reported that the last national elections were overall well managed, free, and fair. Human rights organizations documented some credible abuses by members of the security forces. The government investigated but did not punish officials who may have committed human rights abuses.

The overall score indicates that there are substantial risks of potential human rights violations in this country. This may also include the tourism sector. Relevant risks for the tourism sector are, e.g.:
  • Overly restrictive laws on the organisation, funding and operation of nongovernmental and civil society organisations
  • Extensive gender-based violence
  • Threats of violence against LGBTQ+ persons

For better comparability, we have converted the original scores of the indices to a uniform scale of 1-100 (1 most negative, 100 most positive).

In the following table you find these recalculated values and the original score in brackets behind them.

For information and a link to the original index click on "?" in the table.

The Overall Score is the geometric mean of all converted values for each country. It is subcategorized in five risk categories with colour gradations that can be seen in the map.
