Justice is often delayed and even denied to ordinary people because of diplomatic and political deals and conventions (“A diplomatic failure,” Editorial, Sep.19). It has been more than three years and we have not been able to bring justice to the families of fishermen who were killed by two Italian marines. How then can we expect that we will be able to drag to court a diplomat who is not just more powerful, but is also more protected than the sailors? We may reassess and even make some changes to Vienna Convention but it will not serve the purpose of justice till it reaches the weaker section of the society, the section to which the Nepali maids and fishermen belong.
