"Mr President, at least ten secular liberal activists have been murdered in cold blood since the start of 2016 alone. Daesh and al—Qaeda claimed many of these attacks, yet Bangladeshi authorities systematically refuse to acknowledge their presence, opting to use these atrocious killings for electoral purposes instead of protecting activists and vulnerable groups like LGBTI.
The blatant failure of the Bangladesh international crimes tribunal to meet fair trial standards is fuelling more violence and extremism. We cannot afford to let Bangladesh descend into full—blown violence. We need to do the following: set up projects to counter violent extremism, with India as a bridgehead, which will help us gain a foothold and stop the country from becoming a regional stronghold for terrorism.
Second, the focus of all sides in Bangladesh – government and opposition – should be on genuine accountability for the crimes today and for those committed in 1972. Extrajudicial killings and arbitrary arrests have to stop.
I call upon the High Representative to take a lead in the UN on further steps implementing sanctions against those responsible for abusive policies on all sides and supporting an internationally—supervised judicial mechanism to ensure justice is served."@en1
