This publication presents the findings, conclusions and recommendations of a joint Fact-Finding Mission, undertaken by COHRE and ACHR, to Dhaka, Bangladesh in August 2000 to investigate reports of large-scale forced evictions taking place. The report concludes that widespread forced evictions did indeed take place, in violation of both international and national law, and therefore urged the government of Bangladesh to abide by its legal obligations and cease such evictions. The report also makes a series of recommendations designed to ameliorate the present situation and living conditions in the slum settlements in and around Dhaka.
