93. RECOMMENDATIONS In general, the BNHRC recommends that the Government should implement all recommendations made by the Committee on the Rights of the Child which have not so far been fully addressed. In addition, the BNHRC makes the following recommendations: LEGAL CONCEPT OF CHILD 1. The Government should ensure that all statutes, regulations and ordinances are made consistent with the definition of a ‘child’ as set out in article 1 of the CRC that a ‘child’ is “every human being below the age of eighteen years”. 2. The best interest of the children should be the prime consideration for all concerned. 3. The Government should ensure that all laws in Bangladesh replace such terms as ‘minor’, ‘orphan’, ‘adolescent’ etc., wherever they are intended to refer to a child, by the term ‘child’ in order to promote greater consistency in law, policy and practice. BIRTH REGISTRATION AND RIGHT TO NAME AND IDENTITY 1. The Government should launch awareness-raising campaigns aimed at parents and the community at large to encourage the registration of births with a view to ensuring that births are registered within a period of 45 days, as stipulated in the Birth Registration Act 2004. 2. The Government should take measures to ensure that the birth of children whose father or mother may be undetermined, children born out of wedlock, and births of children of refugees and internally displaced persons are registered, since in these instances, birth registrations have generally been lower. 3. Biometric technology should be introduced gradually into the birth registration process to authenticate identity and to reduce duplication, fraud and error. PROTECTION AGAINST NEGLIGENCE BY THE PARENTS, LEGAL GUARDIAN ETC. 1. The Government should strengthen public awareness, community care institutions and mechanisms and ensure adequate allocation of resources for family support. RIGHT TO PRIVACY OF THE CHILD 1. The Government should increase its efforts to implement the Pornography Control Act, 2012 and Information and Communication Technology Act 2006. 2. The Government should take measures to strengthen public awareness through education and training on the child’s right to privacy. 33
