Right to Environmental Self-Determination of Indigenous People: A Reflection on Human Rights and Environmental Protection in Bangladesh Perspective
BAPA-BEN 4th International Conference on Bangladesh Environment (ICBEN-4)
(Conference Paper)
ABSTRACT
This paper discusses how the sudden and accelerated degradation of the environment resulting in climate change causing natural catastrophes forced international organizations to rethink the status of the right to environment. The attempt to define the right to environment and to expand its contents gave rise to the concept of the right to environmental self-determinism. This newly emerged concept of environmental self-determinism is substantially connected with the word indigenous or more particularly to indigenous people. The general governmental policies should not interfere with the indigenous peoples' natural, cultural, and physical way of living which will jeopardize their right to environmental self-determination. Therefore, the paper argues that the government must take dichotomized national policies that will consider the environmental needs that are coherently connected with indigenous people.

Alternatively, others are claiming that no one has the right to breach the secrecy of any individual’s personal life, even if that individual is a celebrity. But what do the laws of Bangladesh say about this particular issue?
