India: citizens Memo to Govt. to introduce the communal violence bill

Date: October 8, 2013

Memorandum: UPA GOVERNMENT FULFILL YOUR PROMISE TO ENACT A LAW THAT PROTECTS ALL AGAINST COMMUNAL AND TARGETED VIOLENCE

The 2004 Common Minimum Programme of UPA 1, held out the promise of a ‘comprehensive legislation’ that would strengthen the hands of the citizens to secure justice (commonly referred to as the CV Bill).

One main thrust of such a legislation should be to counter impunity by securing accountability of all persons exercising State power, and to ensure comprehensive justice for the victim- survivor of communal and targeted violence.
