Human Rights Year Book, 2017

About its latest Human Rights Year Book, 2017, INSEC Online writes: "Perpetual instabilities and hindrance in governance will be the direct adverse effects if the three levels of election is not held as per the provisions of the Constitution. A constitutional vacuum will prevail. It will further propel emergence of similar chaotic situation as experienced after the dissolution of the first Constituent Assembly. A constitutional crisis may emerge and we may need to start a new struggle to get rid of that crisis. This in turn will foster political turmoil with the emergence of new actors and start altogether a different chapter in our democratic life as per our experience in the past."
