In his address to the 80th UNGA, Bangladesh’s interim leader Muhammad Yunus highlighted the critical situations in Gaza and Myanmar. He expressed Bangladesh’s viewpoint that a genocide is occurring in Gaza and urged the international community to act. Additionally, Yunus addressed the crisis in Myanmar, focusing on the continued persecution of the Rohingya. Yunus called for a political settlement to integrate the Rohingya community with equal rights. Concurrently, supporters of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina protested outside the UN building. These protests reflect the ongoing political instability in Bangladesh, where there are concerns over human rights issues. Furthermore, Yunus brought attention to the economic contributions of Bangladeshi migrant workers, emphasizing their importance to both Bangladesh and their host countries.
