Rohingya crisis is a crucial topic for recent time in world media. Due to injustice massacre on Rohingya, they took place in our country. This massacre was illegal and breaks the law of human rights. After arriving the Rohingya in Bangladesh, I have seen it had some adverse economic impacts on our Bangladeshi economy. From my study, I have seen it has effects on our tourism industry, unemployment, price hiking, banking sector, food security, and environment and so on. But the impact of Rohingya crisis on tourism industry was intolerable. At the end of my study, I have suggested some polices to solve the Rohingya crisis.

Labour Regulation

New Zealand has been at the forefront of labour regulation and views itself as a leader in the field of human rights. However, this article focuses on an area where the law is underdeveloped. It argues that the ongoing socio-economic inequality of Māori women is inconsistent with social justice, New Zealand's international human rights obligations and the Treaty of Waitangi. Improving access to paid work could help to address this, but the law does not adequately address the intersectional discrimination – discrimination on multiple grounds – that Māori women and others experience. New Zealand discrimination law, in both the human rights and employment jurisdictions, is largely comparator-based which is inherently flawed as a mechanism for addressing intersectional discrimination. Moreover, the law is poorly understood and weakly enforced. New Zealand also has limited affirmative action provisions; no quotas or targets are set with regards to improving the access to paid work of Māori women and very few New Zealand employers are required to report on matters pertaining to gender equality. The article concludes that the impact of intersectional discrimination on Māori women (and others) must be recognised and addressed and that a range of options is available to do this, if the political will were present.

Behavioral Conditions

The purpose of this chapter is to consider the hypothesis that neurobiological accounts of behavior will affect the law, not just in the criminal context where there is evidence that neurobiological explanations may affect judgments of criminal responsibility, but also in how disability in the law is defined. The definition of disability is important as it sets the parameters of entitlements to disability benefits and the scope of legal protection from discrimination in human rights law. The chapter explores the impact of neurobiological explanations of behavioral conditions in this context. It presents cases involving addictions to gambling, sex, or the Internet, and nicotine to illustrate how medicalization, and occasionally neurobiological explanations, account for disabilities that ought to be accommodated rather than punished.

This chapter discusses the law on privacy and confidentiality in the workplace. It looks at the four statutes which relate directly to issues of workplace confidentiality: the GDPR/Data Protection Act 2018, the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (which deals with whistleblowing), the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, and the Telecommunications (Lawful Business Practice) (Interception of Communications) Regulations 2000. It also considers two other areas of law which are influences in this area: the law on job references and the law on restricting the activities of former employees. Also discussed is the impact of the Human Rights Act in this area.

Stephen Fry, the Meaning of Life, and the Problem with Irish Blasphemy Law

The Impact

Abstract In May 2017, news broke that comedian Stephen Fry was, briefly, under investigation in Ireland, for blasphemy, leading to a reaction of outrage that a blasphemy law existed in Ireland in 2017. This mirrored the equivalent reaction in 2009 when Ireland, in fulfilment of a constitutional obligation, defined the crime in a piece of legislation. A blasphemy law must, by definition, be predicated on a religious public morality that regards certain kinds of irreverence as being ‘unsayable’ and, because Irish public morality is now secular in nature, the law, even though it can have no substantive impact, carried an embarrassingly erroneous message about the nature of modern Ireland. The impact of the law was, therefore, symbolic, and the reaction was against what was seen as an embarrassing and inaccurate symbolic message about the nature of modern Ireland. The disconnect between Irish public morality and the existence of a blasphemy law is the strongest reason why the law should be abolished, and is also the reason why it is unjustifiable as a matter of International Human Rights Law.

Charitable Purpose

This article attempts an overview of the application of the law of charities to religion. Charity law is currently subject to revision. The advancement of religion has been one of the traditional charitable purposes defined as such in the common law. In this area of law both the courts and the Charity Commission have applied a neutral approach toward all religious denominations. This approach is in principle consistent with the content of the Human Rights Act 1998. Nevertheless the growth of religious pluralism in society and the appearance of new religions and groups generate many doubts about the definition of religion as charity. On the one hand, the courts have offered a theistic definition of religion, which is not applicable to all religious groups. On the other, in every charitable purpose some element of public benefit must be present. For religious purposes the courts assume the presence of a public benefit unless the contrary is shown, but it is not clear that all religious practices are beneficial to the community. The aim of this article is to promote a discussion about the definition of religion as a charitable purpose, to identify the problems connected with the growth of religious pluralism, and to offer some remarks about the impact of the Human Rights Act 1998 on the law of charities.

Dignity Act

SummaryUK law on assisted suicide and euthanasia is very clear: it is unlawful. However, there have been successive proposals for changes to legislation in this area (in England and Scotland) and a series of individual challenges to current legislation in the courts. This article does not seek to debate the profound ethical arguments that surround this emotive subject, but instead to portray how the law, through court judgment and legislative proposals, has wrestled with opposing views, particularly over the past decade or so, as the impact of the Human Rights Act has presented unique challenges. Some of our closest European neighbours have diverse legislation that could influence our own legislature, and, from across the Atlantic, the Oregon Death with Dignity Act is being mirrored in proposals to change the law in the UK.Learning Objectives•Be able to recognise the impact of the Human Rights Act on challenges to legislation relating to assisted suicide.•Understand proposals for statute.•Appreciate how certain other countries legislate in this area.
