Nepal: Peace Postponed, the latest briefing from the International Crisis Group, examines the faltering but still viable process.

Leaders have vowed to forge a new consensus and hold the elections by mid-April 2008 but have yet to address the problems that led to past delays or tackle crucial remaining issues such as security sector reform.
