tematic efforts to raise awareness on the

yThe formation and functioning of the International Crimes Tribunal Bangladesh
(ICTB) for trial of the perpetrators of
crimes against humanity committed during the Liberation War of 1971 is a milestone in the history of international criminal justice. However, the NHRC will continue to observe the process at the ICTB
as a watch dog to ensure its transparency, accountability and the due process
of law.
yViolence, repression, burning of houses,
demolition of temples, Buddhist monasteries, churches etc. belonging to different ethnic groups are posing serious challenge to the maintenance of human
rights of the vulnerable groups. During
recent months, these problems are posing serious threats to social harmony and
peaceful community life. The NHRC is
undertaking a series of actions in collaboration with relevant Government agencies, NGOs and civil society bodies to redress such problems through concerted
efforts, campaign, workshop etc.
yBorder killing is another serious concern
for the NHRC, which needs to be addressed by the Government agencies.
NHRC is following up the issue on a continuing basis and exerting its influence
upon the Government of India through
its Indian counterpart in order to stop
such cases of serious human rights violation.
yThe social fabric of our country inherits
an exploitative systems aggravated by
illiteracy, lack of mass awareness about
human rights and many more social ills.
A large number of Government agencies
and NGOs are working in this field. In this
backdrop the NHRC is working as a catalyst organization to combine these efforts and guide those to achieve a society free from human rights violation. The
NHRC believes it will, gradually but
steadily, unfold it's still latent potential
to create an environment where the dignity of the human person is preserved
and ensured in all its manifestations.
