Amnesty International (AI) Wednesday called for the establishment of an office of the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights (UNCHR) to monitor human rights abuses, the London based human rights pressure group said.

AI said half of the 4,336 persons killed in the communist insurgency until 2002 were unlawful. AI said Nepal recorded the highest number of disappearances amounting to 248.
