Legal Aid: A Process to Ensure Access to Justice and Human Rights in Bangladesh
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
People are the actual owner of the State and persons acting in the service of the Republic are none but the servants of the people. It is a duty of the State to remove exploitation and to ensure rule of law, fundamental human rights, equality and access to justice for the citizens. But these cannot be ensured by leaving a significant number of its population below the poverty line. Legal aid is a proven process by which exploitation of the poor can be removed, and rule of law, equality and justice can be ensured for all citizens of the State. Being the owner of the State, getting legal aid is a right of the poor people, not a mercy or charity from the government. The State is under an obligation to ensure the fundamental human rights and access to justice for all citizens. The Constitution of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, the Supreme Law of the State, is the unparalleled basis of providing legal aid. It may not be possible to ensure legal aid services to the indigent, vulnerable, disadvantaged people only by enacting laws rather it can be ensured through improving and implementing the existing law. Public awareness is one of the most important mechanisms, by which public at large will be aware about their rights of equality before law and access to justice. To ensure Access to Justice and Human Rights, both governmental and non-governmental organizations need to work in collaboration with each other through raising public awareness and providing legal aid services.
