Editorial I am pleased to edit the annual report 2022 of NHRC. This report has been prepared as part of activities of NHRC. The Commission is responsible to prepare annual report and submit it to the Hon’ble President of People’s Republic of Bangladesh. Hon’ble Chairman and Full-Time Member’s guidance has enriched this report. Moreover, the suggestion that I got from hon’ble Chairman and Full-Time Member has made my work easier and faster. The overall structure of the report follows the structure of previous years. Not much has been changed in the composition of the first (Introduction to the commission) and fifth (Challenges & Way Forward) chapters as the background and functions of the commission are unchanged and many obstacles remain. However, the information in the second, third and fourth chapters is completely new and those chapters reflect the significant functions of the Commission in 2022. Many, especially human rights activists and journalists, are interested in the Commission's views on the human rights situation in Bangladesh; the second chapter presents an analysis of the human rights situation in Bangladesh in 2022. The third chapter contains a detailed reflection of the Commission's complaint management and the fourth chapter details the important actions. This year, 6th Commission led by hon’ble Chairman Dr. Kamal Uddin Ahmed has been appointed by hon’ble President of the country. 5th Commission completed its term on 22nd September 2022 and the Commission was vacant till 9th December 2022. Newly appointed Commission began their journey by celebrating human rights day on 10th December 2022. So, this reports highlights the activities of both commissions. Editorial | 13
