Countering Terrorism through a Strengthened Rule of Law Framework in Bangladesh: CT seeks proposals to strengthen the Bangladeshi capacity to successfully implement the Antiterrorism Act of 2009, amended in 2013, and adequately address the threat of terrorism and terrorist financing in a rule of law framework. This project will complement CT-funded assistance focused on Bangladeshi prosecutors, investigators, and regulators that is being provided through the Department of Justice's Office of Prosecutorial Development, Assistance, and Training (OPDAT). Project proposals should focus on building the capacity of judges, magistrates, law clerks, and other judicial personnel, to successfully adjudicate terrorism cases in accordance with the rule of law and should address all of the following areas: 1. Develop a unified judicial practice focused on terrorism, terrorism financing, and money laundering cases that adheres to the rule of law; 2. Strengthen their capacity to implement Bangladesh's Antiterrorism Act of 2009 laws through the effective adjudication of terrorism, money laundering, and terrorism financing cases; 3. Develop administrative capacity for courts to streamline case management for terrorism cases and address significant backlogs.
