UNB, Dhaka :
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in its 2nd five-year strategic plan says it has little hope to achieve its four long-term goals unless it is made an efficient and effective institution.
In the strategic plan, the NHRC plans to develop a human rights culture throughout Bangladesh with a view to ensuring the rule of law, social justice, freedom and human dignity.
To attain this over the next five years (2016-2020), the NHRC identified four long-term goals. The goals are creating a human rights culture throughout the country where the dignity of everyone is respected; a fair society where violence by state is an episode of the past and officials know, and are held accountable for their responsibilities.
Its goals also include making Bangladesh respected internationally for its human rights compliance, ratification of all human rights instruments, up-to-date reporting to treaty bodies and open cooperation with UN special mechanisms and making NHRC credible, independent, objective, effective and
respected for promoting human rights protection throughout the country.
The paper mentions that to attain these long-term goals clear strategies are essential. “NHRC’s basic approach is to develop strong working relationships with civil society, state agencies and international human rights organizations,” it says.
