Poor people should need a separate UN Convection
A discussion took place between prominent Human Rights educator of Bangladesh Mr. Saidur Rahaman with Mahatab Uddin of VUCP regarding the concept of the UN Convention on the Poor. Advocate Saidur Rahaman admits the necessity of a separate UN Convention on the poor. He mentioned that as the poor people are a special vulnerable group all over the world, the present UN covenants of ICCPR & ICESCR and optional protocols will become meaningful to the people through such separate conventions. Mr. Rahaman suggests preparing a clear concept write-up on the idea and sharing it with the UN Human Rights working group, experts, and activists in this field to know more opinions from them. He wishes that the concept will soon draw the attention of the international community for its urgency.
