What is it about?

The Constitution of Bangladesh has incorporated civil and political rights as judicially enforceable fundamental rights, while economic, social, and cultural (ESC) rights are incorporated as judicially unenforceable fundamental principles of state policy. The chapter explores how the judiciary in Bangladesh has extended the scope of judicial enforcement of constitutional principles on ESC rights despite having an express constitutional bar against justiciability of these principles.
