Bangladesh: Political violence obviously a concern, says UN resident coordinator

DHAKA, 09 November 2022, (TON): UN Resident Coordinator in Bangladesh Gwyn Lewis has made it clear that it is not for her or the UN to take decisions or engage in the election process of Bangladesh and laid emphasis on peaceful exercise of political activities.

She said “people have been injured and killed over the past months which is obviously a concern and called for calm and to find avenues for discussion.”

Lewis said “it's not for me or the UN to really decide and engage in election.”

He said that there is no mandate for the UN to engage in election here unless they get a specific request from the Security Council or General Assembly or the country.
