Human Rights in Bangladesh 1999 is a very useful source book for academics and activists. It records not only the violations of human rights as reported in daily newspapers but attempts to situate them within a social and political context. The report gives an insight into the role of the three institutions of the state – the executive, judiciary and legislature in applying or promoting human rights standards. Examples of citizens’ activism to prevent violations reflect a growing public concern with the situation of violence as well as the rights of minorities and women.
