The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is set to open a mission office in Dhaka following an agreement with Bangladesh’s interim government. The mission aims to support human rights protection and accountability, focusing on serious violations and capacity building. While human rights activists welcome the move, Islamist groups oppose it, fearing interference with national values. The government assures respect for Bangladesh’s cultural and religious traditions, promising the office will work within legal and social frameworks.
