Govt should study other countries' experiences

Says UN official

UNB, Dhaka
UN Resident Coordinator Renata Lok Dessallien said Bangladesh government should study on how the war crime issue was handled in other countries so that Bangladesh can avoid any unfortunate experiences
"Because in some countries they have managed very well, and it worked extremely very well, and in some countries it has not gone so well. 2
And so we would like to see it work well in Bangladesh. That means we have to do our homework." she told reporters yesterday after a meeting with Foreign Minister Dipu Moni.
At the meeting, the UN country chief and the new foreign minister discussed the issue of holding trial of war criminals of 1971.
Renata said it is very important that Bangladesh, before any action is taken, let there be a clear analysis about what would be the best, how best to approach it in Bangladesh--and "that's what we did discuss today".
The UNDP resident representative said options for the
government to consider in terms of how best of choosing the right path to resolve the issue of war crimes.
"We talked how it's been dealt with in other countries because, as you know, they have this issue of the war crimes and there are different mechanisms that have been used to try to solve this problem in different countries,” she said.
"We study how it worked well in other countries and I look into Bangladesh context, specifics here. So, we do adopt the mechanism to what best for Bangladesh." she added.
Asked how the United Nations can cooperate with Bangladesh in resolving the
matter, Renata said the UN could bring expertise of other countries to the service of Bangladesh.
"As the government studies how good options are. we can bring the expertise involved in such efforts around the world to the service of Bangladesh."
Asked about the postelection human rights situation in the country. Renata said. "We are not happy with the human rights violation after the elections."
Compared to other elections, she sees it is somewhat best. "But still any violation of human right is not a good sign, so we do have some concerns on that."
She hoped that the situation
would improve in the future.
About UNDP's redefined role in Bangladesh with the installation of a democratic government, she said the UNDP has just been concen-trating on its ongoing programmes and she hopes to see more in the future. But there will be no fundamental changes.
During the meeting, they also discussed the issue of climate change, Bangladesh's role both at home and in the international arena and the upcoming meeting of the Human Rights Council at which Bangladesh will present periodic review on the human-right situation here in the country.
