Abstract:
This article addresses how Bangladesh's domestic legal system has adopted and implemented
foreign laws, particularly treaties and accords. The focus has been on the place of international
laws in Bangladesh's legal system and their power to interpret and contest domestic laws.
Considering this, several significant court rulings and constitutional clauses addressing
international law have been examined. The state and application of customary international law
in Bangladesh have also been taken into consideration. There has been extensive discussion on
the incorporation and implementation of customary international law rules. The article highlights
court rulings and international instruments using analytical research methodologies.
This study examines Bangladesh's constitutional acknowledgment of international law and
examines how international legal norms have been incorporated into the national legal system.
Examining constitutional provisions, their historical development, and their practical application,
the study explores opportunities as well as problems. It is crucial to comprehend the subtleties of
constitutional recognition as Bangladesh manages its place in the world. The study clarifies
possible conflicts, the cohabitation of national and international rules, and the influence on foreign
policy. It seeks to give a succinct but thorough summary of Bangladesh's compliance with
international legal principles through case studies and an analysis of the judiciary's function.
The research has additionally drawn upon international agreements, national legislation, and
adjudicated instances from Bangladesh's Apex Court. The results demonstrate that Bangladesh, a
democratic nation, must implement international treaty provisions into national laws for the
benefit of its own citizens. This is a dangerous and protracted process that would require more
than just political resolve to come to pass. It still has a long way to go before bringing its laws up
to par with those of other nations, given its youth. Positive signs include the Bangladeshi supreme
courts' growing awareness of and interpretation of international treaties, as seen by their rulings,
which put pressure on the government to amend the laws.
