@haque_shahidul @JonFDanilowicz Yes, parliament can pass a resolution authorizing deployment of troops. The 4th parliament did so in the context of the Gulf War. I can vouch for this from the horse's mouth since my dad was a member of the 4th parliament and proudly voted in support.
@haque_shahidul @umranchowdhury @JonFDanilowicz Article 63 on Parliament's assent is especially relevant. I'm not speaking to the merits of this particular idea, but Ambassador Uddin's account is informative about how the US sought out Bangladesh's support for the Gulf War and Parliament's vote to deploy troops.
Yes, absolutely. Parliament has to authorize any deployment of troops in accordance with Article 63. The 4th parliament authorized the deployment of troops to the Gulf War in 1990. My dad was a member of the 4th parliament and he voted for it. He told me this often.

Bangladesh joined the US-led coalition during the Gulf War after the Security Council condemned Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Dhaka can follow the precedent of the Gulf War.
🇺🇸/🇷🇺/🇺🇦/🇸🇦/🇧🇩. NBC: #SaudiArabia & #Bangladesh are among non-NATO countries being considered by the Trump Admin to deploy troops to man a 'buffer zone' in Ukraine as part of any possible peace deal, though the Trump acknowledges that Russia would have to agree to it first.
