Rule of law must for ensuring human rights

Says PM

UNB, Dhaka
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said the government would establish human rights in the country through ensuring the trial of all the incidents of human rights violations.
"All we need most is to ensure the rule of law for establishing human rights. Criminals have to face punishment, no matter who they are... this is our decision, and we are working as per the decision," she said.
The PM was addressing a programme at the capital's Pan Pacific Sonargaon, marking the Human Rights Day 2019.
Hasina said the drive against drugs, terrorism, militancy and corruption was going on as these destroy a society. "So, the resistance should come first from the society against these menaces... this is urgently needed to create awareness among the people."

She said the government has enacted various human rights-related laws and amended many others while strengthening the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).
The commission organised the programme on the theme "Youth standing up for human rights".
The premier said after the assassination of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1975, the killers and antiliberation forces were awarded and patronised to get them established in the country politically.
"It is very natural that human rights will be violated repeatedly if the government tolerates any injustice and crime."
She said the Awami League government was trying to do a very tough job to put the country on the track of prosperity. "We are very much active whenever there is any violation
of human rights."
The government was giving special attention to those who were lagging behind in the society, said the PM.
She said the people need to be properly aware of human rights and their duties.
Hasina said creating awareness regarding rights and responsibilities was very much necessary. "To enjoy rights, we have to discharge our responsibilities to others..."
About the Rohingya crisis, the premier said Bangladesh did not get into a conflict with Myanmar. It was rather in a dialogue with the neighbouring country so that their nationals could be repatriated.
Law Minister Anisul Huq, NHRC Chairman Nasima Begum, UN Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative in Bangladesh Mia Seppo and NHRC member Kamal Uddin Ahmed also spoke at the event.
