Abstract

Human rights violations have become the norm in Bangladesh notwithstanding the country’s constitutional commitment to safeguarding fundamental rights and its ratification of numerous international treaties and conventions. State authorities have repeatedly failed to protect citizens’ fundamental rights such that constitutionalism and democratic governance are a far cry.The main objective of this research is to portrait the real scenario of human rights violations in Bangladesh in 2019, and both state and non-state actors would be acquainted with the prevailing human rights conditions. Considering the nature of the study, mixed methodologies have been applied and data collected from both secondary and primary sources. After analyzing the data the study has found that the rising incidents of rape, extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearance, Check on freedom of expression, child rights violation and border killings reveal a very gloomy scenario of the overall human rights situation in Bangladesh. Finally, this research will help mass people, civil society organizations, and international communities by providing them an evidential account of ongoing degrading treatment of human beings.
