he , adopted on November 4, 1972, is the supreme law of the country.

It lays down the


framework for the country's political principles, establishes the structure, procedures,
powers, and duties of government institutions, and sets out fundamental rights for
citizens. Here is how the Constitution addresses and supports the points for ensuring
the rule of law in Bangladesh:

1. Separation of the Judiciary from the Executive:

 Constitutional Provisions: Article 22 of the Constitution mandates the separation of


the judiciary from the executive organs of the state. This ensures that the judiciary can
function independently without undue influence from the executive branch.

2. Appointment of an Ombudsman:

 Constitutional Provisions: Article 77 of the Constitution provides for the establishment


of an office of the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman is empowered to investigate
complaints from citizens about injustices or maladministration by public authorities,
thereby promoting transparency and accountability.

3. Effective Parliament:

 Constitutional Provisions: Articles 65 to 93 detail the powers, functions, and


responsibilities of the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament). Provisions for the legislative
process, including law-making, budget approval, and government oversight, ensure that
parliament functions effectively. Cooperation between the government and opposition
is critical for a functional and effective parliament.

4. Reform of Law Enforcement and Police:

 Constitutional Provisions: While the Constitution does not explicitly detail the
structure of law enforcement, it provides a framework for the rule of law (Articles 27 and
31) and human rights (Part III, Fundamental Rights). Reforms can be pursued through
legislation and executive actions to ensure law enforcement agencies are free from
corruption and political influence.

5. National Unity and Consensus Politics:


 Constitutional Provisions: The Preamble and various articles emphasize democracy,
human rights, and national unity. Promoting consensus politics involves adhering to
these constitutional values and encouraging dialogue and cooperation among political
entities.

6. Role of Human Rights Organizations:

 Constitutional Provisions: Part III of the Constitution enshrines fundamental rights,


including equality before the law (Article 27), protection of the law (Article 31), and
freedom of speech and assembly (Articles 37 and 39). Human rights organizations can
play a crucial role in monitoring and advocating for these rights.

7. Ensuring Principles of Rule of Law:
