At the UNGA, Bangladesh’s interim leader Muhammad Yunus delivered a speech addressing the humanitarian crises in Gaza and Myanmar. He expressed Bangladesh’s support for an international inquiry commission on Gaza, condemning the situation as a ‘genocide.’ Yunus also expressed concern about the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar, calling for a resolution that provides the Rohingya with equal rights. Meanwhile, protests by supporters of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina took place outside the UN, underscoring the political division within the country. Yunus, who is governing the country until the forthcoming general elections, has faced accusations of human rights violations and of allowing attacks on minorities. The leader also spoke on the economic importance of Bangladeshi migrant workers, emphasizing their contributions and urging host nations to offer them protection.
