National Board

Amnesty International Nepal’s General Meeting elects a National Board (NB) for a term of three years to oversee and guide its human rights work. The NB prepares policies to ensure the implementation of decisions of the Global Assembly (GA). Additionally, the NB follows recommendations and decisions taken at the General Meeting and ensures their successful implementation. It also reviews and evaluates the activities of Amnesty Nepal and its membership. The NB consists of a directly elected Chair, a directly elected Treasurer, and nine members elected by the General Meeting. The first meeting of the newly elected Board appoints the Vice Chairperson, General Secretary, and Deputy General Secretary. The NB also includes a minimum of three women and two youths, one of whom is female.
