UNB, Dhaka

Referring to the growing “mistrust” between people and the global institutions, Bangladesh has urged the UN Security Council to demonstrate unity and decisiveness in addressing visible threats to peace and protecting the most vulnerable, such as the Rohingya minorities.

“Almost six years have passed since the Rohingya minorities were expelled from their ancestral land in Myanmar. No effective action was taken by the Security Council to remedy the situation; rather, the council has remained a mute witness to its continued deterioration,” said Ambassador Muhammad Abdul Muhith, permanent representative of Bangladesh to the United Nations in New York.

He was speaking at the Security Council open debate on “Futureproofing Trust for Sustaining Peace” held at the UN Headquarters on Wednesday.
