The book is aimed at preventing the undue intrusion on fundamental human rights
Deakin Law School (DLS) has the pleasure of inviting you for the launch of Dr M. Ehteshamul (Tanim) Bari's new landmark book 'States of Emergency and the Law: The Experience of Bangladesh’.
The evening will take an insightful look at the book's impact on the fields of comparative constitutional law, human rights law, and Asian law followed by networking opportunities and refreshments.
About the book
In Bangladesh, the absence of effective constitutional safeguards for governing emergency regimes has resulted in each of the five emergencies being invoked on the imprecise ground of internal disturbance. During these five periods of emergency, either all or most of the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution were suspended and the power of preventive detention was abused.
The outcome of this book will not only establish the best means for ensuring the maintenance of the rule of law but also for preventing undue intrusion on the fundamental human rights of individuals during emergency situations in Bangladesh.
