The signing of a comprehensive peace agreement in November 2006 by the Government of Nepal and the Communist Party of Nepal ( Maoist ) marked a historic step in ending the ten-year conflict . The Security Council , under Resolution 1740 of 23 January 2007 , established the United Nations Mission in Nepal ( UNMIN ) to support the peace process through the monitoring of arms , armed personnel and the ceasefire , and to provide technical support for the elections to the Constituent Assembly .
