Of all the amusements which can possible be imagined for a hard-working man, after his day’s toil, there is nothing like reading an entertaining book. It calls for no bodily exertion of which he has had enough. It relieves his home of its dullness. It transports him to lovelier and more interesting scenes; and while he enjoys these, he may forget the evils of the present moment. Nay, it accompanies him to his day’s work, and if the book he has been reading be anything above the very idlest and lightest, it gives him something to think about during the drudgery of his everyday occupation. If I were to pray for a taste which should stand me in good stead under every variety of circumstances and be a source of happiness and cheerfulness through life, it would be a taste for reading. Give a man this taste and the means of gratifying it, and you will never fail to make him happy, unless indeed you put into his hands the most perverse selection of books. You place him with the best society in every period of history, with the wisest, the wittiest, the tenders, the bravest and the purest characters which have adorned humanity. You make him a citizen of all nations, a contemporary of all ages. (Translate to Bangla)

Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought. A theory however elegant and economical must be rejected or revised if it is untrue; likewise laws and institutions no matter how efficient and will arranged must be reformed or abolished if they are unjust. Each person possesses an inviolability founded on justice that even the welfare of society as a whole cannot override. For this reason justice denies that the loss of freedom for some is made right by a greater good shared by others. It does not allow that the sacrifices imposed on a few are outweighed by the larger sum of advantages enjoyed by many. Therefore, in a just society the liberties of equal citizenship are taken as settled; the rights secured by justice are not subject to political bargaining o to the calculus of social interests. The only thing that permits us to acquiesce in an erroneous theory is the lack of a better one; analogously, an injustice is tolerable only when it is necessary to avoid an even greater injustice. Being first virtuous of human activities, truth and justice are uncompromising. (Translate into Bangla)

The idea of a crime against humanity and of war crimes in general can be understood in relation to the natural law and natural rights theories. Certain actions violate the natural value and dignity of persons, and all human beings should know this based upon a common moral sense, no matter what orders they receive. The important point here is that soldiers cannot be excused for criminal behavior by claiming that they are merely following orders. Principle IV of the Nuremberg Trials stipulates, "The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him." Moreover, Principle III of the tribunal stipulated that any superior authority and lead were not excused from persecution. The Nuremberg Trials are viewed as an important step in th development of war crimes tribunals and international law. Since Nuremberg, the inter nation community has worked to create a more impartial system for dealing with war crime and crime against humanity, including the development of an international criminal court in The Hague.

The prevalence of teenage employment in Bangladesh is controversial. Questions have been raised regarding whether adolescents should work and if they do, what the terms and conditions will be. It is argued that work experience can promote the healthy development of adolescents when it is moderate in intensity and does not interfere with physical and mental growth. According to Bangladesh Labour Act 2006, an adolescent is defined as a person above the age of 14 but below 18. According to the law, before the appointment of a job, ascertainment of the age, birth, school, or registered physician's certificate regarding the age of the adolescent shall be used. After the appointment, some other conditions shall have to be followed regarding working hours, hazardous works, etc. Adolescents shall not be required to work between 7 pm to 7a.m and the working hours shall not be more then 5 hours in a day and 32 hours in a week. In addition, adolescents shouldn't clean, lubricate of adjust any part of machinery in motion. Further, the employment of adolescents on dangerous machines without full instruction, precaution, and sufficient training, is prohibited. However, the proper implementation of existing regulations is questionable. For the smooth physical and mental development of adolescents, the authorities should implement the laws strictly to build up a healthy and prosperous generation.
