Law Adviser Asif Nazrul today said upholding human rights in Bangladesh is not possible without addressing the longstanding issues within the three key organs of the state — the executive, the legislature and the judiciary.
“We must fix the state’s three main pillars. Without doing so, there is no way to ensure human rights. We have to touch the core issues. That’s where we are trying to bring change,” he said while speaking at the 11th Human Rights Conference held at Dhaka University’s Muzaffar Ahmed Chowdhury Auditorium.
Presided over by HRSS Chairperson Shahzada Al Amin, the conference was addressed, among others, by human rights activist and HRSS Chief Adviser Md Nur Khan; Senior Human Rights Adviser at the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office in Bangladesh Huma Khan, and Dean of the Faculty of Law at Dhaka University Prof Mohammad Ekramul Haque.
