Need to implement the Communication Technology Law and Policy to protect the human rights in Bangladesh: An approach for sustainble development

Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated and least developed counties in the world. She has been suffering much due to poverty, mal administration, corruption, scarcity of natural resources, natural calamities etc.; but working with many initiatives for attaining the Millennium Development Goals by 2015 for Bangladesh. Consequently, the state of human rights to the people of Bangladesh is still very vulnerable compared to some other countries in the world. In order to protect these rights, meanwhile, the Government of Bangladesh has passed some important national and international laws and policies including the Right to Information Act, 2009; the National Human Rights Commission Act, 2008 etc. Some international legal foundations and efforts such as the Earth Summit Conference, Johannesburg Conference, Rio Declaration etc; have been been made in this regard. But due to some practical constraints and reasons in the administration such as lack of daily basis transparency and accountability, non coordination, corrupt mentality, lack of enforcement and implementation, insufficient technical and research knowledge, inadequate penal provision, bureaucratic mentality, ignorance of civil society´s initiatives and opinions and over all weak judiciary etc., are responsible for it. But it is still hopeful that we implement the theory of the Digital Bangladesh applying the Information and Communication Technology Law and Policy, we could easily do justice to the people of Bangladesh. But we need to come back to the way of the prophet including the kahlifa Hazra Omar (R.).
