AB Party Chairman Mojibur Rahman Manju has cautiously welcomed the decision to establish a United Nations Human Rights Commission office in Dhaka. However, he criticized the interim government for signing the agreement without consulting relevant stakeholders.
Manju said, “We welcome the establishment of the UN Human Rights Commission office in Dhaka with vigilance. Unfortunately, the interim government has already made a major mistake by entering into the agreement without dialogue with those affected. As a result, many stakeholders who have concerns and anxieties about this issue are justifiably upset.”
He emphasized the need for the UN mission in Dhaka to focus on critical human rights violations such as enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and unlawful torture. Additionally, the mission should remain alert and responsive to other sensitive issues raised by stakeholders.
Addressing incidents of Indian aggression and media misinformation, Manju expressed dissatisfaction with the UN’s global role in addressing human rights violations, saying, “We are not satisfied with the United Nations’ role worldwide in protecting human rights.”
