United Nationalist Nepalese संयुक्त राष्ट्रवादी नेपाली

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for visiting the official website of the Non-Profit Advocacy Organization "United Nationalist Nepalese". The United Nationalist Nepalese (UNN) is a non-political and non-profit organization. Our organization aims to bring all those people together who love and care about Nepal--not people who happen to be attached with a particular race, region, or a religion. While we believe equity is important in a democratic society, we oppose any move that wants to fall Nepal into pieces of ethnicity, religion or federalism. We invite all the Nepalese to come together under one umbrella where everyone is a Nepali first.

We invite all global Nepalese to participate in our organization's mission to unify Nepal. Please extend your support to UNN by becoming a UNN member. We will appreciate your comments and suggestions to help our organization achieve its goals.

OBJECTIVES

United Nationalist Nepalese (UNN ) was formed:

• To act as an organizational focus for all individuals, irrespective of ethnicity, religion, or background, who sincerely believe in the restoration of a unitary, independent and democratic nation of Nepal.
• To speak on behalf of all nationalist Nepalese, both within Nepal and abroad.

The sovereign and fundamental rights of the people of Nepal are to be expressed through:

1. Peaceful democratic means in the political process.
2. Multiparty parliamentary democracy.
3. Inadmissibility of the politics of violence and intimidation.
4. Recognition of our heritage, roots and values as an integral part of our nationhood.
5. Unacceptability of any political compromise leading to national disintegration.
6. The recognition of 'Human rights' to be an integral part of the polity.
7. The prerogative of the sovereign people of Nepal to decide on the salient characteristics of the nation.

ISSUES FOR PUBLIC REFERENDUM

UNN insists upon peaceful public deliberations and a referendum on:

• Hindu nation or Secular state: Hindu Rastra is not about theocracy, but rather represents an acknowledgment of our heritage, roots, and values.
• Constitutional Monarchy or Republic: Constitutional Monarchy is not about feudalism or the divine right of a King, but rather represents an acknowledgment of the cultural and unifying role of the King in Nepal within a democratic framework. The UNN urges that the Constitution of 1990 be restored, on a provisional basis, until the Nepali people have delivered their own verdict on that document via referendum. The present Constituent Assembly, elected and convened under circumstances of unacceptable Maoist coercion and low-grade terror, should be suspended and its work halted. To ensure a free and fair referendum, the disarmament and confinement of Maoist cadres in designated cantonments shall continue under the supervision of the Nepal Army, and all recruitment into the Maoist "Peoples' Liberation Army" and "Young Communist League" is to be halted at once.

OPPOSE STRUCTURAL CHANGES

We must emphasize that the Constituent Assembly of 2008 has a mandate to write a constitution, but not to enact structural changes. The necessary preconditions for such structural changes are:

• A ratified constitution being in place.
• Members of the parliament elected under the new constitution being in place.
• Candidates for the parliament having been given ample time to present their views prior to the election to get the public mandate.
• The pros and cons of the issues having been well-discussed in public to form an educated public consensus.

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS

UNN programs for social development:

1. Recognition of the importance of self-discipline, internal values and heritage for self-esteem. It is important to note that no political program will succeed without the pride of one's own heritage and roots. It is the foundation stone on which the society and the political structure stand.
2. To formulate policies and programs to represent the broad-based centrist constituency and to create a think tank or research institute to formulate such policies.
3. To view Nepal as a multi-cultural nation, but not to compromise by allowing its disintegration along ethnic lines.
4. The public's intolerance against corruption must be recognized and must be reflected in the policies of all parties and in their selection of candidates.
5. The core of our social and political problem is a lagging economy and soaring unemployment. Thus the economic policies must be geared towards a better investment environment and job creation. Parties should push for the protection of industries against extortion, and in turn ask them to create jobs.
6. To delineate issues common between this organization and other political groupings and parties.
7. To create a young cadre corps and train them in leadership and communication skills.
8. To recognize the importance of communicating to the people and of developing a rapport with the communications media.
9. To delineate an area where the organization has large public support. Develop it as a showcase by keeping it free of corruption, extortion of industries and businesses, trafficking of women, politicization of educational institutes, deforestation and forced conversion. A symbiotic relationship with industries and businesses may be attained by providing them with an environment conducive to commerce, and by in turn asking them for tangible job creation.
