    COCAP is a network born out of a national symposium on conflict transformation and peace building in June 2001. This symposium was organized by National Peace Campaign (NPC), Centre for Social and Economic Development (CESOD) and Informal Sector Service Centre (INSEC). Resource persons for the symposium was provided by the Washington DC based organizations, Institute for Multi-Track Diplomacy (IMTD), and Institute for International Mediation and Conflict Resolution (IIMCR). It was originally conceived as a loose, informal forum for information sharing among participants of the symposium. The objectives and structure of the network changed after a series of informal meetings in late 2001 and early 2002.Originally, all the members of the network were from Kathmandu. Conscious efforts were made to give it a ‘national’ character by increasing the number of out-of-Kathmandu members. Now, over 90% General members as well as executive committee members are from outside of Kathmandu.A national convention of prospective COCAP members was held in Chitwan in May 2002. The convention decided that the network should be registered with the government so that it would have a legal status of a social organization. This was considered essential for institutionalization of the network. The convention also decided that the network should take a proactive role in coordination of human rights and peace initiatives among members, facilitate information sharing, and also undertake a few national level peace advocacy and research projects, which the network is better placed to do than individual members. The most important decisions were, however, related to COCAP’s proactive transparency and organizational structure policies, which have been incorporated into the COCAP’s Memorandum of Association, statute, registered with the government in December 2002. Thus the COCAP’s membership has reached 43 covering 29 districts and all the geographical as well as administrative divisions.

    The government brought the National Mass Communication Policy on 22 July this year. After the promulgation of the present constitution of Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, a high-level committee was formed to draft this policy on 3 February for the development of the mass communications in the spirit of the new constitution. The committee was formed comprising nearly a dozen of journalists aligned to the ruling Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist ) and some few mass communication experts. Therefore, it was received criticisms in the very beginning. The committee with majority of the inexperienced members submitted report to the Minister for Information and Communications, Sherdhan Rai, from the ruling party on 20 July. Minister Rai immediate lauded the draft policy and it did not take few days for the government to approve the policy without any discussion and dialogues in the public. It against created intense debate why the policy was endorsed without holding public discussion.Although it is laudable and encouraging that constitution has guaranteed full press freedom in the very preamble, the provisos on the rights to FoE and communication under the fundamental rights are already the factors creating fear that FoE would be shrunk at any time. In addition to this, the government becoming the practitioner of the freedom with hostile provisos rather than protecting press freedom indicates difficult days in store. At a time when the political and administrative leaderships are unreceptive to the democratic values, and the misuse of power has been a common culture, the ambiguous constitutional provisions and policy documents will gradually shrink the sphere of freedoms. Similarly, Nepali society is yet to evolve itself as a liberal democracy. The system developed after the traditional control-mindset has not flourished in the pace it was expected. It is finely reflected in the National Mass Communications Policy-2016.
