Moni emphasized her government's focus on educating agencies about their human rights responsibilities while on duty. She answered questions for three and a half hours from various countries regarding Bangladesh's recent advancements and challenges in human rights. She highlighted the importance of upholding the rule of law in all aspects of society and protecting the rights of vulnerable and marginalized groups. The minister reiterated the government's commitment to zero tolerance towards attacks on minorities, such as those that occurred in Ramu, Cox's Bazar, and against Hindu communities during recent political unrest. This marked the first time Bangladesh took part in the review with a delegation including prominent figures from religious and ethnic minority groups. The session saw 98 countries speaking and praising Bangladesh's progress in ensuring citizens' civil, political, economic, and social rights. The minister presented the government's efforts to enhance human rights and mentioned the significant changes made since the previous review in 2009. She discussed legislative and policy initiatives taken to improve human rights in the country. During the question-answer session, there was notable interest in Bangladesh's achievements in combating poverty, reducing child mortality, ensuring food security, addressing climate change impacts, and promoting the well-being of migrants and the rights of persons with disabilities. She appealed for international support in strengthening Bangladesh's democratic, secular, inclusive, and pluralistic socio-political environment. The Universal Periodic Review is a process where all UN member states' human rights records are assessed, with Bangladesh submitting its report in January. The National Human Rights Commission and civil society groups also presented reports for the review process. The review allows each state to outline the actions taken to enhance human rights and fulfill their obligations in this regard.
