Speakers at a conference at the London School of Economics warned of the serious environmental, ecological, social, and economic impacts that the planned unilateral construction of the Tipaimukh Dam by India will have on the millions of people of Bangladesh and northeastern India. They called for a joint feasibility study between Bangladesh and India before any dam construction to find a fair and equitable solution to the potential environmental disaster. It was emphasized that as an upper riparian country, India has a moral and legal obligation to consult with Bangladesh before proceeding with any dam projects. Dr. Hasanat Hussain MBE, the convenor of the World Forum of the Voice For Justice, chaired the conference, which was attended by British treasury minister Stephen Timms who commended the organizers for hosting the forum in London. He informed the conference that the British government will always support the oppressed globally and collaborate with organizations like VFJ to advocate for human rights and justice for the underprivileged. The event marked the inaugural world forum of VFJ, organized at the London School of Economics by a coalition of its European, US, Canadian, and Asian sectors. Attendees included Bangladeshi expatriate academics, experts, VFJ members, and various individuals from the British-Bangladeshi community in the UK. Abdul Moyeen Khan, former planning and science minister, and Sabih Uddin, former Bangladesh high commissioner to the UK, participated remotely. Concerns were expressed at the conference regarding the potential impact of constructing barriers on common rivers, which could lead to a humanitarian crisis for the millions who rely on the Surma and Kushiara rivers. Dr K M A Malik from the University of Cardiff presented a paper on Climate Change in South Asia, focusing particularly on Bangladesh, at the conference. Additionally, Dr Mahbub Khan from California State University and Hasan Mahmud, the director of Sharia Law at the Muslim Canadian Congress, presented papers on 'Rights of Migrant Workers in Gulf States' and 'Women's rights in Islam', respectively. The speakers emphasized the importance of formal bilateral agreements between migrant-sending countries like Bangladesh and the Gulf states where migrant workers face widespread allegations of human rights violations. The conference urged the Gulf states to prioritize the human rights of migrant workers who play a significant role in their economies and contribute to remittances for their home countries. Hasan Mahmud's paper highlighted that Islam and authentic Sharia law protect and promote women's rights in a fair and just manner. He expressed remorse for the fact that social and cultural biases have caused the misinterpretation and distortion of laws, leading to discriminatory treatment of women in various societies. Professor Anthony Booth from Christchurch University, UK, Prof. Shamsul Islam Choudhury from Roosevelt University, US, Dr. Abdur Rahman and Dr. Zakia Rahman from Limmeric University, Ireland, Dr. Stephanie Eaton from Kingston University, UK, Luthfur Rahman Choudhury, and the joint convenors of the World Forum of Voice For Justice from various cities in the UK participated in the question and answer sessions at the end.
