Court Division (HCD) of Supreme Court of
Bangladesh. Now it is the duty on the
concerned department of the government
to move for this issue to be settled by the
apex court.
b. Not all human rights are enforceable
under the constitution of Bangladesh
In the constitution of Bangladesh, some
socio-economic and cultural rights are
placed in part II and some civil and political
rights in part III. The part II is the
fundamental principles of state policy which
has to be progressively attained by the
state and is not enforceable in the court of
law. So according to our constitution
socio-economic
and
cultural
rights
contained in part II are not recognized and
not guaranteed by State.
c. NGOs on Human Rights:
The NHRC has noticed in 2015 that, some
NGOs in Bangladesh are operating in the
name of human rights organization. These
organizations are taking money and
deceiving people instead of helping the
people in distress. Such organizations are
causing damage to the reputation of human
rights organizations including the NHRC and
aggravating the people of whom human
rights may be violated. The negative roles
of these NGOs are required to be tackled by
the concerned ministry of the GoB.
Making NHRC a Constitutional Body:
The promotion and protection of human
rights have been included in the constitution
of Bangladesh. The institution which has
been given the duty to promote and protect
human rights is not included in the
Constitution.
NHRIsare
constitutional
bodies
in
many
states.
Being
a
constitutional body gives NHRI a superior
status, independence and powers necessary
to function as an ideal NHRI. Therefore, the
NHRC of Bangladesh also wishes that, the
NHRC be made a constitutional body and
strengthen human rights situation in
Bangladesh.
If
NHRC
becomes
constitutional body, it shall generally
receive identity from the people. It shall
receive
such
status
which
other
constitutional
body
like
Election
Commission, Public Service Commission
etc. receives.In fine constitutional status
will not only safeguard but also confirm the
autonomy of JAMAKON

systemic working the designed goals. The

the NHRC has made a strategic plan for its
future activities of the term 2016 to 2020.
This strategic plan can be found in the
annex.
Conclusion:
The NHRC holds the will to serve the nation
and the human civilization. In its duty to
promote and protect human rights, the
NHRC shall always be aware and effective.
The NHRC shall, without any doubt, gain its
vision to build a culture of human rights in
