DHAKA, 31 August 2022, (TON): The office of United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has regretted the ‘misinformation’ regarding high commissioner’s end-of-mandate statement in Geneva on global issues, noting that it was not a ‘global report’.
He said in a statement “we regret the misinformation. This was not meant to be a global report,’ Ravina Shamdasani, spokesperson of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.”
The spokesperson said “as the High Commissioner had already extensively covered the human rights issues in Bangladesh, she chose to focus her 25 August end-of-mandate statement in Geneva on global issues, affecting all countries including Bangladesh as well as the Rohingya anniversary which was on the day itself.”
She said “as you must be aware, the High Commissioner extensively discussed her concerns about a wide range of human rights issues in her meetings with government, civil society and other interlocutors and in her end-of-mission statement in Dhaka.”
