Judiciary undermines its own independence in Bangladesh: ALRC
The Asian Legal Resource Centre (ALRC) has wished to bring the status of the judiciary and legal profession of Bangladesh to the attention of the UN Human Rights Council. ALRC says, Bangladesh has been Member of the Human Rights Council virtually since its formation. The country has been party to two international Covenants and eight Conventions. Being a party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), Bangladesh is obliged to ensure the independence of the judiciary. It is mandatory for Bangladesh to take administrative, legislative, and judicial measures to implement the rights enshrined in the ICCPR.
