There is no denying the fact, due to unhealthy situation, a child may
be infected with evil mind and as a result, he or she disintegrates and
stigmatizes by in-flowing into the world of murkiness as well as misleading from
where he or she can never get rid of. He commits crime, such as smuggling,
robbing, murdering, snatching and dilapidation etc. Failure waits for him
everywhere. Even if, he is attracted by innumerable but deadly forbidden
things. Not being educated, he becomes addicted to evil works in society. He
becomes unknown about the world being transient and allusion of momentary affairs,
which has no eternal value in the real sense. In many times, it is observed by
degrees that he becomes go-getting and many detrimental tricks are acted upon
in societal life. He is familiar with that being crooked and atrocious work,
the society cannot mull over him as an evil person; never the less; every body
is in the way to run after such forbidden things. In many times the terror
leaders greet him and support him to do the forbidden things. Thus a person
becomes the leader of the country and occupies a very influential position in
the society by doing all the forbidden things like bribing, mal practicing and
thieving. Hence forth, it is seen that from every branches of the Government
corruption is a common phenomenon for which the nation would like to lead a
healthy life. Bangladesh
is a highly populated country and as such the double entendre among her
resources and needs are prevailing every time to a great extent. Due to despondency
of wealth, here one-fourth people cannot satisfy their daily needs for which no
one is pleased with his family life. It is a very difficult doodad for someone
to acquire a job, as there are fewer vacancies in offices, industries and so
on. When people cannot find any occupation or job for earning their livelihood,
they do not get any alternative measures except committing crimes. So being
without a job is a reason for life form a criminal and the opportunist apply
this sense in evil manner and sway him to do the job of roguish and dreadful
deeds for which he remains exhausted through out his whole life.
As per scrawny socio-economic condition
in our country, a child does not need a companion to live with society,
friendship and love. That is why; the people make friendship in the hope to
have good fortune to deal future life. But every friend might not stand beside
another friend in weal and woe. He sometimes pushes him towards danger and
inspires him for doing anti-social activities, which is called ‘crime’.
Therefore, being a criminal, he may be tainted with the deceptive people.
Suffice it to say that due to aggravated socio-economic conditions customary in
our country, our society of youths is leading very miserable life. They are
creating hindrance and preventing the people from dealing normal life as they
are sometimes no longer lost to play a role of terrorists as well as
miscreants. Due to the fact that poverty is the indispensable reason for doing
criminal assault on the part of the youths. Any person belonging to a poor
family has to pass his days through hard struggle. He surely wants to develop
his condition. On the other hand, for being poor, he does not get opportunity
to be educated properly. Consequently, he cannot have any respectable
occupation. At last, finding no other alternatives, he commits crime as his
profession. If we are able to reach our goal as expected, it is universal that
glory of success must wait for us in future. But we must have to work arduously
for that golden opportunity. Otherwise our all hopes and aspirations will be
nipped in the bud. No one cannot get salvation of ideal love and peace from God
by following the path vices and misfortune. Dr. Faustus was an uncommon genius
but by committing seven deadly sins with the exchange of his soul into the hell
by taking 24 years kingdom in the eternal world had been thrown to the
hell. Lucifer, the owner of the hail
grew jealous of him for his talent and geniuses and made a deed by way of
Mephistopheles with Faustus. Later, Faustus became lamented but due to his
colossal crime, he was thrown to the hell for his misdeeds for long 24 years.
That is to say, if a man is addicted to bad habits during childhood, he cannot
get rid of from such criminal assault for which he has to repent on through out
his whole life. Youth is the best season of good harvest and as such it is
likes mild mud and henceforth, he needs to precede his life very carefully. Mainly for these three reasons, we are
loosing many brightly illuminated resource personnel to place them on the basis
of ‘Right man for the right place'
of our country. We need to end all these frolicsome activities. We must come
across some way to get rid of mischievous debris and save the bewildered people
of our country. The Government also should take actions against such awful
activities. First of all, the people here should be aware of the explosion of
population and they must not possess more than two children. Secondly, we need
to be careful about making friendship, so that we don’t have any bad company.
And at last, we must have to recognize the importance of education. No matter
how poor we are, we have to try our level best to gain knowledge. In this
context, Socrates said," Knowledge is virtue, from knowledge, virtue and
goodness flourish; from ignorance, he said, all that is evil."
It has been stated that the
States Parties should take all appropriate measures to secure the recovery of protection
for the child from the parents or other persons having financial responsibility
for the child, both within the State Party and from abroad. In particular,
where the person having financial dependability for the child lives in a State
different from that of the child, States Parties should promote the accession
to international agreements or the conclusion of such agreements, as well as
the making of other appropriate arrangements. It has been stated that the
States Parties recognize the right of the child to education and with a view to
achieving this right progressively and on the basis of equal opportunity, they
should, in particular:
- Make primary education compulsory and available free to all;
- Encourage the development of different forms of secondary education, including general and vocational education, make them available and accessible to every child and take appropriate measures such as the introduction of free education and offering financial assistance in case of need;
- Make higher education accessible to all on the basis of capacity by every appropriate means;
- Make educational and vocational information and guidance available and accessible to all children;
- Take measures to encourage regular attendance at schools and the reduction of drop-out rates.

It has been stated that the States Parties should
promote and encourage international cooperation in matters relating to
education, in particular with a view to contributing to the elimination of
ignorance and illiteracy throughout the world and facilitating access to
scientific and technical knowledge and modern teaching methods. In this regard,
particular account should be taken of the needs of developing countries. States Parties agree that the education of
the child should be intended for:
lThe growth of the child's
personality, talents and mental and physical abilities to their fullest
potential;
lThe expansion of respect for
human rights and fundamental freedoms, and for the principles enshrined in the
Charter of the United Nations;
lThe progress of respect for the
child's parents, his or her own cultural identity, language and values, for the
national values of the country in which the child is living, the country from
which he or she may originate, and for civilizations different from his or her
own;
lThe groundwork of the child for
responsible life in a free society, in the spirit of understanding, peace,
tolerance, equality of sexes, and friendship among all peoples, ethnic,
national and religious groups and persons of indigenous origin;
It has been stated that the
States Parties recognize the right of the child to be protected from economic
exploitation and from performing any work that is likely to be hazardous or to
interfere with the child's education, or to be harmful to the child's health or
physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social development. It has clearly
mentioned that the States Parties should take lawmaking, managerial, societal
and enlightening measures to ensure the implementation of the present article.
To this end and having regard to the relevant provisions of other international
instruments, States Parties should in particular:
Ø Provide for a minimum age or
minimum ages for admission to employment;
Ø Provide for appropriate
regulation of the hours and conditions of employment;
Ø Provide for appropriate penalties
or other sanctions to ensure the effective enforcement of the present article.
Ø It has been stated that the
states Parties should take all appropriate measures, including legislative,
administrative, social and educational measures, to protect children from the
illicit use of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances as defined in the
relevant international treaties and to prevent the use of children in the
illicit production and trafficking of such substances.
It has been stated that the
States Parties undertake to protect the child from all forms of sexual
exploitation and sexual abuse. For these purposes, States Parties should in
particular take all appropriate national, bilateral and multilateral measures
to prevent: States Parties should take all appropriate national, bilateral and
multilateral measures to prevent the abduction of, the sale of or traffic in
children for any purpose or in any form.
Ø The inducement or coercion of a
child to engage in any unlawful sexual activity;
Ø The exploitative use of children
in prostitution or other unlawful sexual practices;
Ø The exploitative use of children
in pornographic performances and materials.
It has been specified that the
States Parties should ensure the following criteria: No child should be
subjected to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or
punishment. Neither capital punishment nor life imprisonment without
possibility of release should be imposed for offences committed by persons
below eighteen years of age;
lNo child should be underprivileged
of his or her liberty illegitimately or arbitrarily. The arrest, detention or
imprisonment of a child should be in conformity with the law and should be used
only as a measure of last resort and for the shortest appropriate period of
time;
lEvery child deprived of liberty
should be treated with humanity and respect for the inherent dignity of the
human person and in a manner which takes into account the needs of persons of
his or her age. In particular, every child deprived of liberty should be separated
from adults unless it is considered in the child's best interest not to do so
and should have the right to maintain contact with his or her family through
correspondence and visits, save in exceptional circumstances;
lEvery child deprived of his or her
liberty should have the right to on time access to legal and other appropriate
assistance, as well as the right to challenge the legality of the deprivation
of his or her liberty before a court or other competent, independent and
impartial authority and to a prompt decision on any such action. It has been
stated that the States Parties undertake to respect and to ensure respect for
rules of international humanitarian law applicable to them in armed conflicts
which are relevant to the child.
There is no denying the fact that
the States Parties should take all feasible measures to ensure that persons who
have not attained the age of fifteen years do not take a direct part in
hostilities. It has been stated the States Parties should refrain from recruiting
any person who has not attained the age of fifteen years into their armed
forces. In recruiting among those persons who have attained the age of fifteen
years but who have not attained the age of eighteen years, States Parties
should endeavor to give priority to those who are oldest. In accordance with
their obligations under international humanitarian law to protect the civilian
population in armed conflicts, States Parties should take all feasible measures
to ensure protection and care of children who are affected by an armed
conflict. It has been stated that the States Parties should take all
appropriate measures to promote physical and psychological recovery and social
reintegration of a child victim of: any form of neglect, exploitation, or
abuse; torture or any other form of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or chastisement;
or equipped conflicts. Such recovery and reintegration should take place in an
environment which fosters the health, self-respect and self-esteem of the
child. States Parties recognize the right of every child alleged as, accused
of, or recognized as having infringed the penal law to be treated in a manner
consistent with the promotion of the child's sense of dignity and worth, which
reinforces the child's respect for the human rights and fundamental freedoms of
others and which takes into account the child's age and the desirability of
promoting the child's reintegration and the child's assuming a constructive
role in society.
To this end and having regard to
the relevant provisions of international instruments, States Parties should, in
particular, ensure that:
·
No
child should be suspected as, be lay blame on of, or recognized as having
infringed the penal law by reason of acts or omissions that were not prohibited
by national or international law at the time they were committed;
·
To
have the free assistance of an interpreter if the child cannot understand or
speak the language used;
·
To
have his or her privacy fully respected at all stages of the proceedings. 3.
States Parties should seek to promote the establishment of laws, procedures,
authorities and institutions specifically applicable to children alleged as,
accused of, or recognized as having infringed the penal law, and, in
particular:
·
The
establishment of a minimum age below which children should be presumed not to
have the capacity to infringe the penal law;
·
Whenever
appropriate and desirable, measures for dealing with such children without
resorting to judicial proceedings, providing that human rights and legal safeguards
are fully respected.
It has been affirmed the child
shall be scheduled instantly after confinement and shall have the precise from
birth to a name, the right preserve nationality and. as far, and the right to
know and be concerned for by his or her parents. It has been stated in UN
charter that the States Parties should make certain the completion of these
rights as per their general law and their requirement under the relevant global
instruments in this field, in particular where the child would otherwise be
stateless. It has been stated the states Parties undertake to respect the right
of the child to preserve his or her uniqueness, including nationality, name and
family members as standard by law without against the law involvement. The
children who are found begging need to be sorted out and they should be
positioned in a place which is suitable for their development. The social
authorities and other welfare organization should come forward to settle them
in a systematic manner. Other wise the hopes and aspiration would be nipped in
the bud and in this context, Somerset Maugham says,”
It is difficult to pass over the
razor’s edge,
But the wise say the path to
salvation is hard”
