Art. 16 · Part 3
Right to Live with Dignity
सम्मानपूर्वक बाँच्न पाउने हक
Original Text
Every person shall have the right to live with dignity. No law shall be made providing for the death penalty.
💡 Plain Language Explanation
You have a right to life AND dignity - not just survival. Nepal has abolished the death penalty under this article. One of only 106 countries to do so, and one of the most progressive in Asia.
🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या
सम्मानपूर्वक बाँच्न पाउने हक। मृत्युदण्डको कुनै कानुन बनाउन मिल्दैन।
✅ Strengths
No death penalty - major human rights achievement. Dignity right enables poverty/housing claims.
⚠️ Concerns
Dignity enforcement requires courts - inaccessible to most poor Nepalis.
