refugees has not been uniform or consistent ... the adoption of specific refugee legislation will help Bangladesh direct its efforts in a more coherent manner” (p. 273); Chapter 23 argues that “Bangladesh is clearly not doing enough to promote minority rights” (p. 285); Chapter 24 submits that “the country’s indigenous peoples are often excluded from the national self-image” (p. 289), and thus Bangladesh should “recognise the special status of indigenous peoples and ethnic groups in the constitution” (p. 296–7); and Chapter 27 claims that “freedom of expression is recognised” in international human rights instruments and in the constitution of Bangladesh (p. 322); however, it adds that “unfortunately, Bangladesh has taken an increasingly regressive approach towards freedom of expression in recent years... The responsibility of ensuring freedom of speech and expression belongs to all three organs of the state—judiciary, legislature, and executive” (p. 329). In 2021, Bangladesh is celebrating its 50th anniversary of independence, having been under British colonial rule for 200 years, and then being part of Pakistan for 24 years. Since 1971, Bangladesh has become involved in a wide range of international law issues, including international trade disputes, the establishment of an international criminal court to try crimes against humanity, maritime border dispute settlements, and Rohingya refugee issues. Moreover, Bangladesh is a leading country globally in exporting ready-made garments, and thus is involved in international labour rights issues. Further, as a coastal State, climate change is also a crucial topic of concern for Bangladesh in international forums. In this context, Bangladesh and International Law is an excellent reference source to study Third World approaches to international law, and is truly the “first-ever comprehensive analysis of international law from Global South perspectives with specific reference to Bangladesh” (Shahabuddin). If anyone wants to understand international law from a Bangladeshi perspective, this book would definitely be the first choice. I wish this great piece of research every success.
