A climate tribunal organized by Oxfam in Dhaka has blamed developed countries, particularly Annex-1 countries, for the destruction of fisherfolk communities in coastal Bangladesh due to climate change. The tribunal, held at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre, aimed to find legal ways to protect victims of climate change. The jury panel, led by Mizanur Rahman of the Bangladesh Human Rights Commission, heard testimonies from various climate victims, including housewives in cyclone-affected areas and fishermen who ended up in Indian jails. It also received input from two experts on climate change and international law in an attempt to establish a connection between the science of climate change, its national and international legal aspects, and the ongoing multilateral negotiations. Unfortunately, there is still no globally binding legal instrument that could facilitate compensation to countries affected by climate change from the developed world, the major carbon emitters, as stated by legal expert Ahmed Ziauddin. While Bangladesh can bring complaints to international courts such as the UN, WTO, and UNESCO, there is no way to seek individual damages. Ziauddin suggested that an act for climate change and relevant article should be included in Bangladesh's constitution. He also mentioned that Bangladesh lacks a legal definition of climate change. Climate change expert Ahsan Uddin Ahmed stated to the tribunal that developed nations are avoiding their responsibilities by requesting specific accounts of damage caused by climate change, despite the scientific evidence proving its existence. The jury, after listening to testimonies, suggested creating a separate law and incorporating an article in the constitution regarding climate change. They determined that developed nations, being primarily responsible for climate change, should bear the costs of mitigation efforts. The jury also noted that the human rights of coastal area residents had been violated by the impacts of climate change. The jury panel was made up of legislators Saber Hossain Chowdhury, Tarana Halim, Hasanul Huq Inu, and economist Quazi Kholiquzzaman Ahmed.
