It analyzes the constitutional recognition of these rights in Bangladesh and explores how they are interpreted and enforced by the judiciary. The study identifies and analyzes the challenges faced in implementing economic, social, and cultural rights in Bangladesh, including socio-economic factors, institutional and legal barriers, lack of awareness and capacity, and issues related to accountability and remedial mechanisms. It conducts an in-depth analysis of specific rights such as the right to education, health, work, housing, food, water, and cultural participation, along with the available remedial measures for each. Case studies are presented to examine the impact of economic, social, and cultural rights in Bangladesh, focusing on access to education and its influence on poverty alleviation, healthcare delivery and public health outcomes, workers' rights and labor exploitation, and housing rights and urban development. Through critical appraisal, the research assesses the effectiveness of remedial mechanisms and identifies gaps and challenges that hinder the full realization of economic, social, and cultural rights. The paper concludes by providing policy and legal recommendations to strengthen economic, social, and cultural rights in Bangladesh, aiming to address the identified obstacles and enhance their implementation and enforcement. This thesis offers a comprehensive analysis of economic, social, and cultural rights in the Constitution of Bangladesh, examining their historical development, implementation challenges, and specific rights.
