It calls for unrestricted access to CHT, disbanding RAB, and reforming security forcesHuman rights violations in Bangladesh will not stop without lasting systemic reform: Human Rights WatchHuman Rights Watch, or HRW, warns that even if the government in Bangladesh changes, the practice of human rights violations will remain the same without “systemic reforms”. The government should reform institutions in line with international human rights standards with the help of the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, it says. Emphasising the need for permanent reforms, Human Rights Watch has said without them, these practices in Bangladesh will continue unabated. According to the HRW, the law still includes provisions for the death penalty, which is a “violation of international human rights law”. The Human Rights Watch's report addresses the authorities' failure to stop all forms of violence and harassment in the workplace.
