Trial of war criminals The Tribunal trying war crimes of 1971 i.e. International Crimes Tribunal, has given verdict in 21 cases till present. In 2015, the verdicts of three war criminals have been executed. The punishment of these three persons who committed grave violation of human rights is a great step in ensuring human rights. JAMAKON published a brochure of FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) on the trial of war criminals. JAMAKON was very much vocal for the trial of the perpetrators of liberation war. Recognition as freedom fighter The Government has recognized 41 women as freedom fighters in 2015. JAMAKON deems that the initiative deserves appreciation as it will make freedom fighters as privileged section of the society due to whom we have got a space in the world map. Rights of the Children In 2015, the government has made draft of the following: • The Child Marriage Restraint Act, 2015. • The Ban on Corporal Punishment Policy and Guideline, 2015. • The Children Rules, 2015. • The National Corporate Social Responsibility for Children Policy, 2015. In December 2015, the state minister mentioned in her speech that, no children shall live on street. She told that, government is taking rehabilitation program for street children. The children shall live in child care where necessary education, food etc. shall be given. According to survey published on 29 July 2015 by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics on the human census 2011, 10,000,00 children of 10-14 years are engaged in different kinds of labour. The Finance Minister introduced ‘Budget Thoughts for Children’ report, first of its kind in Bangladesh, in fiscal year 2015-16. The report is presented taking into account the budgetary allocations of five ministries directly related to socio-economic development of children. JAMAKON deems that to ensure the rights of the Children there should a separate Commission like “Child Commission”. JAMAKON is doing a lot to make it happen. Labor Rights The draft of the protection and welfare of domestic workers policy 2015 was approved by the cabinet in December 2015. In the policy, the domestic workers have been brought under the umbrella of it and the policy ensures proper and dignified environment of work including protection, welfare, leisure, recreation and leave etc. For, light work the age of the domestic worker has to be 14 years and for heavy works 18 years. There is penal provision against physical and mental torture of the worker. The worker welfare foundation shall supervise the welfare of the domestic workers. The government shall also start a helpline. The government has introduced the Bangladesh Labor Rules 2015 on September 15, 2015 with a view to implementing the Labor Act 2006. Workers will mostly be benefitted with the rule as the annual collection of the labor welfare fund will stand at Tk 720 million and the workers will enjoy different benefits from the fund. In 2015, about hundreds of workers died in work area. This data shows that, thought major occurrence is not happening, but workers; right to life is not ensured due to lack in occupational safety measures. 13 JAMAKON
