From the oppressive conditions of slavery in ancient Rome to the revolutionary demands for fair wages and working conditions during the Peasants' Revolt, the analysis tracks the evolution of labour rights through the Industrial Revolution, the formation of labour unions, and the influence of Karl Marx’s class struggle theory.
The paper further explores establishing international labour standards, including the creation of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the integration of labour rights into human rights frameworks like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). It emphasizes the significant protections workers now enjoy, such as freedom of association, collective bargaining, elimination of child and forced labour, and gender equality in pay.
Despite these advancements, the paper addresses ongoing violations and challenges in enforcing labour rights, particularly in developing nations. Issues like child labour, unsafe working conditions, and the exploitation of migrant workers persist. The paper calls for stronger international efforts, improved legal frameworks, and greater public awareness to ensure that labour rights are effectively implemented and protected worldwide.

With this digital shift, the need to protect rights such as freedom of speech and privacy in the virtual world has grown. The article explores the legal frameworks in Bangladesh, specifically the ICT Act 2006 and Digital Security Act 2018, and questions whether these laws uphold secularism as per the Constitution. Citing recent incidents involving the 10 Minute School, it critiques the effectiveness of these laws in protecting the right to freedom of religion and preventing misuse of digital platforms. The article argues for the need to enhance legal provisions to safeguard secular values and ensure that fundamental rights are protected in the digital world.

In the last 20 years environmental degradation has reached in its peak to show the alarming need of regulating environmental law strictly. But the main problem is while the Environmental Rule of Law talks about the equal accountability of entities, at the same time, how the world leaders or politicians who allow the polluters to pollute more can be held liable for harming the environment is not ensured. Thomas Carothers opined, “The Primary obstacles to the Rule of Law reform are not technical or financial but political and human". His opinion made it clear that ensuring the goals of the Rule of Law is far beyond possibility as introducing reform itself is the biggest challenge. The harm caused by the atom bombing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the harm caused by nuclear PowerPoint in Chernobyl still haunt people, but deaths due to environmental degradation haven't made that much gossip among mass people. It is because we don't see it; we don't feel it; like a silent poison, harmful particles stay a long time in our body and silently kill us. So, the main problem is in our thinking, understanding and not taking immediate action through international customary laws. Therefore, this paper will follow an analytical approach to represent the very need of the recognition of environmental law as customary international laws to redress the political barriers in environmental issues. To address the issue, the elements of customary international law will be well analysed.
