Dr. addressed the session of the United Nations General Assembly on Friday. Muhammad Yunus
The chief adviser of the interim government. Muhammad Yunus said that the life of every Palestinian as a human being is priceless. All concerned must be held accountable for the crimes against humanity committed against the Palestinian people.
He said these things in his speech at the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, United States, on Friday night (September 27), Bangladesh time.
Dr. Muhammad Yunus said that in today’s multifaceted crisis, human rights are being undermined on a large scale due to war and conflict. Despite the concern and condemnation of the world, the genocide in Gaza does not stop. The existing reality of Palestine is not only a concern for Arabs or Muslims, but it is a concern for the entire mankind.
He said, Bangladesh is calling for a complete ceasefire immediately to get rid of the ongoing atrocities on the people of Palestine, especially women and children that the world is witnessing. Only a two-state solution can bring lasting peace to the Middle East. Therefore, the international community including the United Nations must take initiatives for its implementation now.
Regarding the Russia-Ukraine war. Muhammad Yunus said that many people have lost their lives in the ongoing war in Ukraine for two and a half years. The impact of this war is universal. Its impact is felt even in the economy of Bangladesh. We therefore call on both sides to resolve the conflict through dialogue and an end to the war.
