ANNEXURE: 1 PESTLE Analysis of Bangladesh A broad Poli�cal, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, and Environmental (PESTLE) scan was undertaken. PESTLE is a strategic analysis tool used to iden�fy the macro forces facing an organiza�on to appreciate the dynamics that will either enhance or impede implemen�ng the strategic plan. Poli�cal The poli�cs of Bangladesh is based on the system of a Parliamentary representa�ve mul�-party democracy where the Prime Minister is the Head of the Government. Champions of human rights in Parliament are needed to advocate for the accountability of the perpetrators of the human rights viola�ons and engage in the work of promo�on and protec�on of human rights. Economic Bangladesh has become one of the fastest growing economies in the world for over a decade, which has, unfortunately, in many cases, resulted in a reported increase of human rights viola�ons. This necessitates increased human rights oversight and redress for the violaitons. Further, the Na�onal Human Rights Commission ought to engage with private sector en��es towards improved educa�on and awareness of business and human rights. The government has developed and is implemen�ng plans towards development and improved service delivery. These provide an opportunity for the NHRC to leverage to advance the progressive realisa�on of economic, social, and cultural rights as well as the adop�on of a human rights-based approach in all developmental ini�a�ves and u�lisa�on of public resources at both na�onal and county levels. Bangladesh is part of the global village, and its economy could be subject to interna�onal trade trends, including money laundering, human trafficking, and smuggling of humans. Therefore, the Commission seeks to act for a human rights based approach in migra�on governance and respect human rights in interna�onal and regional trade ac�vi�es. 35
