ZAŠTITA LJUDSKIH PRAVA U BANGLADEŠU: TEŠKOĆE U PERIODU PANDEMIJE COVID-19

Glavni sadržaj članka

Apstrakt

Kada je počela epidemija kovida 19, Bangladeš, kao zemlja u razvoju, nije imao odgovarajuće resurse za borbu protiv nje u poređenju s drugim razvijenim zemljama. Za vladu Bangladeša primarni izazov bio je zaštititi zdravlje građana i osigurati njihovu sigurnost od izbijanja pandemije, s ograničenim resursima. Ovaj izazov vezan za javno zdravlje motivisao  je vladu da nekoliko puta najavi potpuno zatvaranje. Međutim, s ovim ograničenjima, narod Bangladeša lišen je nekoliko osnovnih prava prema ustavu Bangladeša, kao i niza normi o ljudskim pravima. Prilično je fascinantno da su po prvi put u istoriji narodu Bangladeša uskraćena prava, uključujući slobodu kretanja, okupljanja itd., bez proglašenja vanrednog stanja u skladu s ustavom. Čak je i Vrhovni sud bio na višednevnom odmoru, što je stvorilo stanje vakuuma u pravosudnom sistemu za ljude kojima su uskraćena osnovna prava. Ovaj rad ima za cilj da analizira uslove ljudskih prava u Bangladešu tokom pandemije kovida 19 i kako su zakoni u vezi s pandemijom i agencije za sprovođenje zakona u Bangladešu regulisale ponašanje građana. S druge strane, što se tiče sveobuhvatnosti, akcija vakcinisanja protiv kovida 19 u Bangladešu bila je prilično uspešna u regionu Južne Azije, uprkos pravu izbora i tome što je vlada zadržala vakcinaciju neobaveznom za sve. Ovaj rad ima za cilj da pomno ispita društvenu neodlučnost u vezi s trenutnom akcijom vakcinisanja. Nadalje, ovaj će rad zauzeti hipotetički pogled i dalje ispitati ukoliko bi vlada učinila vakcinaciju obaveznom, da li bi takva odluka bila u skladu sa vrhovnim zakonom Bangladeša.
