Bangladesh has been promoting and protecting all human rights of its population in a people-centric and 'whole-of-society' approach, she said.
She also shared Bangladesh's significant progress in social development, human rights including that of women and girls, strengthening institutions and the rule of law, and in addressing global challenges such as terrorism and violent extremism, cybercrimes, drugs and related crimes.

The various reports submitted to the Committee by the Secretary General recognised the achievements of Bangladesh in the social sector as well as addressing the human rights issues of the most vulnerable, she added.
