building measures to create conducive environment for their return to their

He made the remarks while addressing the
general debate on human rights issues under the 3rd Committee of 74th UNGA at
the UN headquarters on Friday, said the Bangladesh Mission on Saturday.
Abdul Majid said not a single Rohingya opted
to return since they were not convinced that Myanmar had addressed their core
concerns such as security, livelihood, justice and rights issues.
Bangladesh is a current member to the Human
Rights Council.
Abdul Majid also mentioned Bangladesh's
generosity to give shelter and humanitarian support to over 1.1 million
Rohingyas who fled their homes in the face of atrocity crimes committed by the
Myanmar Security Forces.
Referring to the leadership of Prime Minister
Sheikh Hasina, he informed the meeting about Bangladesh's efforts in the human
rights domain such as presentation of the Universal Periodic Review three times
last being in May 2018, presentation of country's report to the Committee
Against Torture in Geneva, submission of the report on the situation of civil
and political rights in Bangladesh to the Human Rights Committee at its 119th
session in 2017.

He stated that the independent Judiciary and
independent National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of Bangladesh remain alert
to address any human rights issue.
"The parliament as and when required
reviews and updates national acts and laws in order to bring them in line with
the international human rights law and obligations", Abdul Majid added.
He reiterated Bangladesh's commitment for
continuous engagement with the international community to promote and protect
human rights and fundamental freedom worldwide.
Abdul Majid is now visiting New York for
participating in the ongoing proceedings of the Main Committees of the General
Assembly under the 74th UNGA.
