Citizens’ Rights- Bangladesh Perspective: A Study
Academia Letters, 2021
Citizens' Rights-Bangladesh Perspective: A Study Introduction: The citizens of a country are entitled to enjoy and claim constitutional rights or fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution of that country and non-fundamental legal rights under the general laws. As a human being a citizen can also claim human rights or natural rights; all of which may not be recognized and enforced by laws in a country; the recognition, protection and enforcement of some human rights in the Constitution of a country turns them into citizens' constitutional rights or fundamental rights in the form of civil & political rights. On the basis of historical development of citizens' rights, they are divided into three classes: a) First Generation Rights, b) Second Generation Rights and c) Third Generation Rights. First generation rights are citizens' civil and political rights which are recognized in different nations' constitutions as the (fundamental) rights enshrined in the part III of Bangladesh Constitution and also in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 1966. The economic, social and cultural rights are the citizens' second generation rights which are universally recognized in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, 1966 as some of them are also incorporated in the Part II of Bangladesh Constitution. Collective or developmental rights are belonging to the citizens' third generation rights. These rights are generally flourished in developing countries under the supervision of the United Nations in the context of decolonization process started after 1945[1]. The rights to self-determination, right to development, right to peace, right to healthy and safe environment, are citizens' third generation rights. In Bangladesh, citizens' first, second and third generation's rights are recognized by the constitution, general laws, case laws and ratified international covenants and treaties. Under the preamble of Bangladesh Constitution citizens' rights are firmly declared by giving a strong

The Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in Bangladesh
Human rights as a concept are normative in essence, capturing a bundle of rights reflecting the interests most fundamental to any human being. It is not without reason that the understanding of human rights has become a critical component of modern legal systems. Human rights have experienced momentous growth during the post-World war II era. At the international, state and local levels, human rights laws, declarations, charters, and covenants have multiplied and endorsed a recurring core of rights and obligations linked to the protection of fundamental human dignity, equality and justice. Nevertheless, there has been a growing concern that simply ratifying or legislating human rights conventions and laws does not lead to the effective enjoyment of human rights in the daily lives of millions of individuals. What really is necessary are initiatives that would translate these broad and abstract human rights norms and standards into the vernacular of everyday life, transplanting these norms into ordinary human relations where they can truly achieve their transformative potential. Human rights, in the way they have been classically captured in legal standards, protect the individual against oppression by the state. Built on the painful experiences of abuses at the hands of governments, human rights thus correspond to a series of obligations imposed upon the state, including either duties to abstain from interfering within a protected zone shielding every individual, or duties to provide everyone with the opportunity to develop and realize their full potential. Human rights have transformed the way in which we conceive of the place of the individual within the community and in relation to the state in a vast array of disciplines, including law, politics, philosophy, sociology and geography. The published output on human rights over the last five decades has been enormous, but on the whole bound tightly to a notion of human rights that links individuals and groups directly to the state.

Critical Analysis of the Existing Labour Laws of Bangladesh: The Need for Reform
2024
Bangladesh's economic growth is largely related to its export-oriented garment industry, which employs a large, mostly female workforce. Despite considerable advances, the country's labor laws are still insufficient to protect workers' rights and provide good working conditions. This study critically examines Bangladesh's present labor laws, exposing their deficiencies in comparison to international labor norms. Key areas of weakness include limitations on freedom of association, poor workplace safety and health measures, and insufficient pay safeguards. These legislative flaws lead to common labor rights breaches, such as union suppression, unsafe workplaces, and wage exploitation. The article contends that Bangladesh needs urgent and comprehensive labor law reforms to promote social fairness and long-term prosperity.
THE BASIC STRUCTURES OF THE CONSTITUTION OF BANGLADESH
Constitution is the main directive in Bangladesh. The constitution of Bangladesh has the supreme power over all legislation in Bangladesh. It was approved by the Assembly of Bangladesh on November 4, 1972; it was exercised from December 16, 1972. The constitution stands as the most powerful evidence to state Bangladesh as a unitary, independent and Republic, founded on a struggle for national liberation, and that is how we achieve the People's Republic of Bangladesh. It lays a strong foundation of nationalism, secularity, democracy and socialism as the essential ethics that stands for the Republic and declares the quest of a society that gives its citizens-the rule of law, fundamental civil rights and independence as well as fairness and even handedness, political, economic and social.
Claiming a 'Fundamental Right to Basic Necessities of Life' Problems and Prospects of Adjudication in Bangladesh
The Indian Journal of Constitutional Law, 2011
I take the chance to argue for placement of ‘basic necessities of life’, which now resides in Article 15 of Part II of the Constitution (Fundamental Principles), within the ambit of Part III (Fundamental Rights) to re-install and further invigorate the socialist promises of the Preamble. Answering the questions regarding the Court’s suspected inability to judge a fundamental right to ‘basic necessity’ is the focus of this exercise. After briefly addressing the widely professed ‘problems’ relating to the justiciability of Socio-economic Rights (Para 2), the paper proceeds to unveil the ‘smuggling’ that Bangladeshi courts are doing now-a-days under the umbrella of Fundamental Rights (Para 3). Then, the inadequacies of the indirect and minimum enforcement regime developed through judicial activism are explained as part of a preliminary justification of a ‘fundamental right’ claim (Para 4). Thereafter, for a comfortable linguistic formulation of the proposed ‘fundamental’ right to basic necessities of life, I have taken the South African Bill of Rights as a model (Para 5). Then, to ease the hesitation regarding the resultant judicial activism, I’ve tried to chalk out the patterns of probable orders and judgments that the judiciary may render in a future claim to basic necessities as of right. At the same time I’ve tried to show that the judiciary of Bangladesh is already in the habit of making such orders and judgments in course of its engagement with Public Interest Litigations (PILs) and obviously they have done it with a considerable amount of success (Para 6). Lastly, the question as to whether Bangladesh is ready enough, economically and politically, to adapt herself with the proposed drastic change in ‘rights’ regime is dealt with, briefly though (Para 7). The ultimate attempt is to establish that we don’t need to be worried of the court’s ‘institutional capacity’ to adjudicate such fundamental rights claims.
