Abstract

Enforced disappearance has been committed by members of the ruling political party, with the alliance of law enforcement agencies to intimidate political opponents in Bangladesh. Besides, law enforcement agenciesgain pecuniary benefits from enforced disappeared victims and families, precipitating impunity as an agent of the ruling political party. Therefore, it is essential to stop this practice, not only for ensuring the human rights but also to protect the image of law enforcement agencies in Bangladesh. Purpose of this scholarship is to provide a summary of state liabilities to combat enforced disappearance under the domestic laws of the land. To know the level of compliance with the Enforced DisappearanceConvention (from now on the Convention)is the other purpose of this manuscript. The quantitative methodology has been used to know the level of compliance with the provisions of Enforced Disappearance Convention, andtheresult shows that Bangladesh complies to a minimum level with the provisions of the Convention. Also,this paperreveals that enforced disappearance may be reduced if Bangladesh ratifies the Convention. The qualitative resultdemonstrates that even though, Bangladesh has not ratified the Convention; however, itmust combat enforced disappearance under the Constitutional law as well as theCriminal law of the Land
