Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the UN Ambassador Rabab Fatima has urged the UN Security Council to end the crimes against humanity, genocide, and war crimes.
She was addressing the Security Council Open Debate on Friday on “Upholding the United Nations Charter to maintain International Peace and Security.”
It is from this same steadfast commitment that Bangladesh continues to be a leading contributor to the UN Peacekeeping, said a press release on Saturday.
The humanity and courageous leadership shown by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in hosting more than a million persecuted Rohingyas which saved the region from potential destabilization, also stems from that abiding commitment, Fatima added.
Highlighting on the new and emerging challenges such as the asymmetric security threats coming from non-state actors and a new generation of threats in cyber space as well as challenges in the fronts of climate change, poverty and inequality, terrorism and violent extremism, and human displacements, she underscored the growing relevance of multilateralism and the United Nations in addressing the challenges and fulfilling aspirations of the current and future generations.
This was the First Open Debate of the Council this year chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Vietnam Pham Binh Minh, marking the advent of the 75th anniversary of the UN Charter.
The meeting was addressed by over 100 member states.
UN Secretary General AntónioGuterres and Chair of the Elders Mary Robinson briefed the Council at the beginning of the debate.
