Fundamental rights and duties in Nepal are the basic human rights mentioned in the Part III of Constitution of Nepal for every Nepalese citizen. This allows a Nepalese citizen to live a life with dignity.

Article 16 to Article 46 of the Nepalese constitution guarantees 31 fundamental rights to Nepalese people. These include freedom to live with dignity, freedom of speech and expression, religious and cultural freedom, right against untouchability and discrimination, and others. As per Article 47, for enforcing these rights, the state was required to make legal provisions within three years of the commencement of the constitution. Additionally, Article 48 lists duties of every Nepalese to safeguard the nationality, sovereignty and integrity of Nepal.[1][2]
