The idea of this study came from one of my supervisors, Dr. Sabbir Ahmed who had been of Indonesia for his post-doctoral research and there he noticed a work on Democratization in the Indonesian Parliament. After coming back to Bangladesh he suggested that I may do the research on the role of Jatiya Sangsad (JS) of Bangladesh in the democratization process of the country. This research could not have been possible without sincere support from some individuals and institutions. To start with, I should thank my two supervisors, Dr. Sabbir Ahmed and Professor Dr. Nasima Khatun for their scholarly contributions along with mental support that encouraged me to bring this research at the final stage. I am very thankful and indebted to Professor Dr. Md. Nurul Amin Bepari, Ex-Chairman, Department of Political Science, University of Dhaka, who first encouraged me for pursuing higher degree.

In the secretariat of the government of Bangladesh many officials extended their assistances to advance the research. They shared their knowledges, and provided me with much useful information and documents. Barrister Md.

I also recognize the contributions of encouragement of all other relatives and family members of mine in short. I thank Bosir Ahmed and Mujahidul Islam for their technical assistance. Finally, I take full responsibility for any factual inaccuracies, errors and omissions of judgment or interpretation made in the thesis. Mohammad Mahabubur Rahaman ii Dhaka University Institutional Repository Abstract The thesis is a summary of a research work that has investigated, scrutinized and inquired into the role of Jatiya Sangsad in the democratization process of Bangladesh of the period spanning from 1991 to 2013. The focus of this thesis is on the law-making process of the Jatiya Sangsad and how participation of people’s representatives contributes to the democratization process of Bangladesh. Reviewing the process of law-making from 1991 to 2013, I have observed that the JS has exercised only marginal participation of MPs in making laws. In addition, the thesis further attempted to establish the three specific hypotheses. First, although the parliament (or JS) is supposed to play a central role for law-making through participation of the people’s representatives, it has hardly done so. Second,

  • The Role of the Legislature in Upholding the Rule of Law in Bangladesh Md
    The Role of the Legislature in Upholding the Rule of Law in Bangladesh Md. Mostafijur Rahman 1 Abstract : In the contemporary global politics the rule of law is considered as the pre-requisite for better democracy, socio-economic development and good govern- ance. It is also essential in the creation and advancement of citizens’ rights of a civilized society and being considered for solving many problems in the developing country. The foremost role of the legislature-as second branch of government to recognise the rights of citizens and to assure the rule of law prevails. In order to achieve this goal the legislature among the pillars of a state should be constructive, effective, functional and meaningful. Although the rule of law is the basic feature of the constitution of Bangladesh the current state of the rule of law is a frustration because, almost in all cases, it does not favour the rights of the common people. Under the circumstances, the existence of the rule of law without an effective parlia- ment is conceivable. The main purpose of this study is to examine to what extent the parliament plays a role in upholding the rule of law in Bangladesh and conclude with pragmatic way forward accordingly. Keywords: Rule of law, principles of law, citizens’ rights, legislature, electoral procedure, legislative process. Introduction The ‘rule of law’ is opposed to ‘rule of man’. The term ‘rule of law’ is derived from the French phrase la Principe de legalite (the princi- ple of legality) which refers to a government based on principles of law and not of men.

  • Birth of Bangladesh: Down Memory Lane
    Indian Foreign Affairs Journal Vol. 4, No. 3, July - September, 2009, 102-117 ORAL HISTORY Birth of Bangladesh: Down Memory Lane Arundhati Ghose, often acclaimed for espousing wittily India’s nuclear non- proliferation policy, narrates the events associated with an assignment during her early diplomatic career that culminated in the birth of a nation – Bangladesh. Indian Foreign Affairs Journal (IFAJ): Thank you, Ambassador, for agreeing to share your involvement and experiences on such an important event of world history. How do you view the entire episode, which is almost four decades old now? Arundhati Ghose (AG): It was a long time ago, and my memory of that time is a patchwork of incidents and impressions. In my recollection, it was like a wave. There was a lot of popular support in India for Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his fight for the rights of the Bengalis of East Pakistan, fund-raising and so on. It was also a difficult period. The territory of what is now Bangladesh, was undergoing a kind of partition for the third time: the partition of Bengal in 1905, the partition of British India into India and Pakistan and now the partition of Pakistan. Though there are some writings on the last event, I feel that not enough research has been done in India on that. IFAJ: From India’s point of view, would you attribute the successful outcome of this event mainly to the military campaign or to diplomacy, or to the insights of the political leadership? AG: I would say it was all of these.

    EXTERNAL (for general distribution) AI Index: ASA 13/09/93 Distr: UA/SC 19 July 1993 Further information on UA 216/93, ASA 13/07/93 and follow-up - ASA 13/08/93, 5 July 1993 -Fear of imminent execution BANGLADESH:Munir Hussain Amnesty International is appealing to the highest authorities in Bangladesh to commute Munir Hussain's death sentence for murder which has been upheld by the High Court Division of the Supreme Court. His petition for leave to appeal has been dismissed by the highest court, and his appeal for clemency has been turned down by the President of Bangladesh. The prisoner is therefore at risk of being executed at short notice. Some newspapers in Bangladesh have quoted un-named official sources as saying that the date for his execution has been set for 26 July 1993. Amnesty International is not in a position to verify reports that the course of justice may have been influenced by undue media publicity. However, the organization is alarmed that the judgement of the Sessions Court which sentenced Munir Hussain to death has reportedly been announced through a loudspeaker for the benefit of pressure groups outside the court who campaigned for the imposition of the death penalty on Munir Hussain. Following the announcement, Roshan Ershad, the wife of the then president, General Ershad, reportedly appeared on the television to congratulate the judge. Reports also indicate that the prisoner was kept in a "death cell" for convicts during his pre-trial detention which denied him an opportunity to meet with his lawyer before the court hearings began.
