Environment, Forest, and Climate Change Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan said today (31 December) that the late AF Hassan Ariff was a perfect lawyer whose contributions to establishing environmental justice, in addition to his professional responsibilities, remained unparalleled.

His professional integrity, compassionate outlook, and application of law for environmental conservation stand as an inspiring model for all, she said

The environment adviser made the remarks while delivering a memorial speech after paying tribute to late A.F. Hassan Ariff, Adviser to the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism and the Ministry of Land, at Bangladesh Secretariat here.

She said, "As an environmental lawyer, whenever I sought his guidance, he prioritised advising on cases involving encroachments of sand, hills, and rivers, setting aside personal legal matters."

Beyond his role as a lawyer, Rizwana said, Ariff who was a former attorney general extended his proactive support to the Ministry of Environment's initiatives as an adviser to the Ministry of Local Government and the Ministry of Land.

She further noted that every phase of his life reflected a deep sense of humanitarian and social responsibility. 

"His contribution to protecting the environment will continue to inspire us. His passing is an irreparable loss for the country," the environment adviser said.

Senior Secretary of the Ministry of Public Administration Dr. Md. Mokhlesur Rahman, Senior Secretary of the Ministry of Land A.S.M. Saleh Ahmed, Secretary of the Local Government Division Md. Nazrul Islam, and Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism Nasreen Jahan, among others, were present.
