'Nepal's ambitious post-conflict transformation must be addressed to end centuries of discrimination and exclusion so these patterns are broken for ever,'

The report came almost two and half years after Nepal ended its decade-long communist insurgency.

Growing inequality, social discrimination and poverty were said to be the main cause of the insurgency in which more than 13,000 people died and more than a thousand others remain missing.

The report said even after the peace accord the cause of the conflict or its consequences were yet to be addressed.

'Poverty and discrimination between ethnic groups and castes are the cause of the war,' the report said. 'Ineffective government, internally displaced people and disappointed combatants are the consequences of the war and they are yet to be addressed.'
