The Bangladesh Parliament passed nine bills on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, converting ordinances issued during the interim government into laws. The bills were approved by voice vote without any amendments or debate. Among them, the Haor and Wetland Conservation Bill was introduced by the Water Resources Minister, while the Law Minister Asaduzzaman presented several amendment bills, including the Code of Criminal Procedure, Civil Courts, International Crimes (Tribunals), and Registration Acts.

During the presentation of the International Crimes (Tribunals) (Amendment) Bill, the Law Minister stated that the bill includes enforced disappearance within the definition of crimes against humanity. He advised critics to review the law before claiming the government intends to abolish the disappearance law, asserting that the government is committed to justice for such crimes. Opposition Leader Shafiqul Rahman responded that the minister’s remarks were unnecessary, while the Speaker reminded members to keep discussions within parliamentary bounds.

Other bills passed were related to the health ministry, mainly to formalize name changes in existing laws. In the absence of the Health Minister, the Home Minister presented three health-related amendment bills, and later the Health Minister proposed another, all of which were passed by voice vote.
