Bangladesh has called for stronger global initiatives to eradicate racism, establish equality, and uphold human dignity. Foreign Minister Dr. Khalilur Rahman made the appeal at a commemorative meeting of the United Nations General Assembly marking the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The statement was released by Bangladesh’s Permanent Mission in New York on March 24, 2026.
During the meeting, Dr. Rahman reaffirmed Bangladesh’s commitment to international conventions against racial and ethnic discrimination. Referring to ongoing persecution in Rakhine and Gaza, he noted that the international community remains far from achieving the goals of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action. He also expressed concern over the exploitation and limited access to justice faced by migrant workers worldwide, calling such conditions contrary to the UN’s core principles.
Highlighting Bangladesh’s constitutional pledge to protect human rights, equality, and dignity, the minister said the country is working to build an inclusive society and strengthen human rights institutions. He emphasized the need for greater investment in education, prevention of online hate speech, and promotion of intercultural dialogue to create a world free from racism.
