Omar FarqueGlobal South Asia’s domestic courts reportedly delivered many judgments innovating new practices and settling principles for environmental justice. The paper discusses the evolution of environmental law as a pertinent part of the human rights regime from a South Asian perspective and the role of the judiciary in promoting environmental justice. It highlights the region's diverse ecosystems and the increasing impact of climate change, emphasizing the importance of environmental litigation in enforcing environmental laws and protecting the region's natural resources. Hence this paper presents key case studies from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Nepal, showcasing how the judiciary in these countries has upheld environmental principles and provided remedies for environmental harm.

Omar Farque"States without Access" to and from the sea constitute almost one-fifth of the states in the international community. Despite being recognized by several international instruments, landlocked states have yet to enjoy their full rights. The UNCLOS offers a thorough legal framework for controlling the resources and uses of ocean areas. However, it also substantially limits the rights of landlocked states to maritime resources, severely restricting their ability to engage in international and seaborne trade. This essay examines the rights that landlocked governments enjoy under the UNCLOS, including the rights to access marine resources, navigation rights, and sea access. Additionally, this article delves into the obstacles that impede the effective execution of these rights as well as the diverse strategies employed to address the issues associated with their enforcement.

Omar FarqueThe judicial system of Bangladesh has not grown overnight or in any particular period of history. Hence, the Family Courts were established by the Family Courts Ordinance [FCO] 1985 to serve the purpose of quick, effective, and amicable disposal of some of the family matters; the purpose is not perceptible from the preamble of the Ordinance though, is evident throughout the different sections of the Ordinance, as is palpable in fixing only thirty days for the appearance of the defendant. However, the establishment of Family Courts was on the one hand an expression of our sophisticated legal thought and, on the other hand, an acknowledgment that our traditional civil courts had failed to successfully deal with the suits relating to family affairs. Thus, this paper aims to critically demonstrate the jurisdictional scope of the Family Courts in Bangladesh.
