A climate tribunal organized by UK-based international NGO Oxfam, with coordination from Campaign for Sustainable Rural Livelihood (CSRL), was held in Dhaka to address the impact of climate change on fisherfolk communities in coastal Bangladesh. The tribunal, which took place at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre, placed blame on developed countries, particularly Annex-1 countries, for the destruction of livelihoods in these communities. The jury panel, led by Bangladesh Human Rights Commission's chief Mizanur Rahman, listened to testimonies from climate victims, including housewives in cyclone-affected areas and fishermen who ended up in Indian jails. The organization also consulted with two experts in climate change and international law to explore the connections between the science of climate change, its legal implications at both national and international levels, and the ongoing negotiations between multiple parties. Unfortunately, there is still no universally binding international agreement that would ensure compensation for countries affected by climate change due to emissions from developed nations, according to legal expert Ahmed Ziauddin. Ziauddin suggested that Bangladesh could potentially present its case to international courts such as the UN, WTO, and UNESCO, but there is currently no avenue for individual countries to seek damages. He recommended that Bangladesh include provisions related to climate change in its constitution. Ziauddin also noted that Bangladesh does not have a specific legal definition of climate change. Climate change expert Ahsan Uddin Ahmed explained to the tribunal that developed nations frequently demand detailed accounts of damage caused by climate change in an attempt to avoid their responsibilities. He emphasized that while the scientific evidence clearly shows that climate change is real and harmful, it is challenging to establish a separate account specifically for this purpose. Following testimonies, the jury recommended the creation of a new law and the inclusion of an article in the constitution addressing climate change. The jury concluded that since developed nations are primarily responsible for the negative impacts of climate change, they should bear the costs of mitigation efforts. Additionally, the jury noted that the human rights of coastal communities have been violated by the consequences of climate change. The group of individuals serving on the jury included politicians Saber Hossain Chowdhury, Tarana Halim, Hasanul Huq Inu, and economist Quazi Kholiquzzaman Ahmed.
