On March 9, 2023, a bill proposing amendments to the Enforced Disappearances Enquiry, Truth and, and Reconciliation Commission Act, 2014, has registered in the House of Representatives (HoR). While the sub-committee in the Law, Justice, and Human Rights Committee of the HoR has agreed on many aspects of the bill, the bill is currently pending in the committee.
