Editor’s Note

本号では、バングラデシュにおける法令の種類をご紹介しています。法律の施行後、SRO や Notification にて改正や追加があるため、最新の規定を確認するためには、法律（Act）のみならず、SRO や Notification などの法令を確認する必要があります。
皆様にとって関心のあるテーマやトピックのご要望がございましたら、fsaori@tny-legal.com までご連絡頂けますと幸いです。

バングラデシュにおける法令の種類
バングラデシュでは、憲法（Constitution）や法律（Act）のほか、条令（Ordinance）、通達（SRO(Statutory Regulatory Orders)）等、複数の法令が存在します。これら全てが明確に定義されているわけではありませんが、一般的に以下のように分類されています。
Act（法律）について、憲法 80 条に規定されている立法手続きに従い、議会に提出された法案（Bill）が議会を通過し、大統領の承認を受けたものが法律として施行されます。
Ordinance（条例）は、憲法 93 条によって大統領に立法権が認められているもので、議会にて可決される法律と同じ効力を有します。大統領は、即時に発効させる必要性を認める場合に、Ordinance を発効することができます。ただし、当該 Ordinance が、a) 憲法に基づき議会法として成立できなかったものである、b) 憲法を改正・撤廃するものである、c) 既存の Ordinance の規定を継続して有効とするものである
場合を除きます。また、後に議会に提出しなければなりません。
SRO (Statutory Regulatory Orders)とは、規則、条令、通知などの個別の通達で、法務省より固有の識別番号が付与されます。議会が立法権の一部を委任した者または団体、通常は、政府、省庁または最高裁判所が制定する権限を有します。SRO はそれぞれ特定の法律の範囲内にあり、かかる法律が廃止されると同じく廃止されます。
Circular（通達）は、国の重要な課題に対して下された政策決定を国民に公式に知らせる宣言ですが、法的根拠に基づくものではありません。政策が変更された場合は、Circular が発行されます。
Notification（通知）は、国の重要な課題に対して下された政策決定の法的根拠となるものです。

Laws and Regulations in Bangladesh
There are several types of laws and regulations in Bangladesh, such as Ordinances and Statutory Regulatory Orders(SROs), in addition to the Constitution and Acts. Although not all of these terms are clearly defined, these are generally
clarified as follows.
Act is enacted in accordance with the legislative procedure stipulated in Article 80 of the Constitution, a bill passed bythe Parliament and is enforced as an Act after being approved by the President.

Ordinance, its making power is granted to the President by Article 93 of the Constitution and has the same effect as acts
passed by Parliament. The President may make and promulgate an Ordinance if he satisfies that circumstances exist
which render immediate action necessary. Provided that no Ordinance makes any provision a) which couldn’t lawfully
be made under the Constitution by Act of Parliament, b) for altering or repealing any provision of the Constitution, or c)continuing in force any provision of an Ordinance previously made. Ordinances shall be laid before Parliament at its firstmeeting following the promulgation of the Ordinance.
SRO (Statutory Regulatory Orders) is a subordinate legislation, which is a collective term for statutory rules,
regulations, ordinances, by-laws, and notifications which bears a unique identification number provided by the Ministryof Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs after vetting. It is made by the persons or bodies to whom Parliament hasdelegated some of its law-making powers. Ordinarily, Government, ministries or superior courts are authorized to makeSROs. These are also under the purview of the parent acts and are repealed when the parent act is repealed.
Circular is a declaration that officially informs the public of policy decisions taken on important national issues, but it
has no legal basis. A circular may be issued if the policy decision changes.
Notification provides the legal basis for policy decisions made on national important issues.

編集後記/ Editor’s Note
ダッカの病院で健康診断を受けてきました。年々検査すべき項目が増えているせいか、7 時間かかり、前払いでなければ、途中で帰宅しているところでしたが、文字通り「Patient」で乗り切りました。
I took health check-up at a hospical in Dhaka. It took 7 hours!
I was literally “patient“ for such long hours because I paid inadvance, otherwise I would have left the hospital in the middleof the check-up.

健康診断についてアップしました。
