A climate tribunal organized by Oxfam in Dhaka has placed blame on developed countries for the destruction of livelihoods in coastal Bangladesh, specifically impacting fisherfolk communities. The tribunal highlighted climate change as the cause of misery for these communities and held Annex-1 countries accountable due to their large emissions. The event, coordinated by the Campaign for Sustainable Rural Livelihood, featured testimonies from climate victims and aimed to find legal ways to protect those affected by climate change. The committee also received input from two specialists in the fields of climate change and international law to explore the connection between the scientific, national, and international legal aspects of climate change, as well as the ongoing multilateral negotiations. Unfortunately, there is currently no globally binding legal instrument in place to ensure compensation for countries impacted by climate change due to carbon emissions from developed nations, according to legal expert Ahmed Ziauddin. Ziauddin explained that while Bangladesh could bring complaints to international courts such as the UN court in The Hague, the WTO, and UNESCO, there is no mechanism for individual countries to seek damages on their own. He suggested that Bangladesh include provisions for climate change in its constitution and emphasized the lack of a legal definition for climate change within the country. Climate change expert Ahsan Uddin Ahmed stated to the tribunal that developed nations often request specific evidence of damage caused by climate change in an apparent attempt to avoid their responsibilities. He emphasized that while the scientific evidence of climate change is clear, it is difficult to establish a separate account for the damages. Following testimonies, the jury recommended the creation of a new law and the inclusion of a climate change article in the constitution. The jury concluded that developed nations, being primarily responsible for climate change, should bear the costs of mitigating its effects. They also noted that the human rights of coastal communities had been violated by the impacts of climate change. The jury panel was made up of politicians Saber Hossain Chowdhury, Tarana Halim, Hasanul Huq Inu, and economist Quazi Kholiquzzaman Ahmed.
