The World Human Rights Day will be observed in the country today. On this day in 1948, the Universal Human Rights Charter was signed in Paris, and its principles and philosophy were later included in various international human rights charters for implementation in many countries.

On the eve of the 59th World Human Rights Day, Chief Adviser Dr Fakhruddin Ahmed in a message said the caretaker government is determined to make democracy more functional and relevant for the people of Bangladesh by ensuring good governance, strengthening legal norms and institutions that would protect fundamental human rights.
