They asked the United Nations to come clean about their assessments on what took place in 1971 and said, ‘we want them to publish their documents and make them accessible to the world public. If we want the UN to recognise the genocide, we should advise them that they should start right there.’ \u003Cimg width=\"677\" height=\"370\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Flh6.googleusercontent.com\u002FAuQl11rtmq-AByR1EuEqmqBJUayhA7MQZT2Me-yPcdw7-YbEI-PeST8ijfhJhBg3W284fNF0BdY36Nz24RMpIlWP7MBCv3UudjQLOoCwqWioZRs-n-ILBrTkU3rhKsplPEcV7gZvgqj2rKCTyozwWvdNJKrQ5d2YXNfWpFTbKHzGs1bLJlbR_pgdSbsuopcypMdfaQ\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speakers continued, the time is right for recognition of Bangladesh Genocide adding, it is of great importance and an absolute necessity to honour the victims of 1971 genocide and their descendants through recognition.

The Pakistani occupation army in nine months killed approximately three million people, violated over two hundred thousand girls and women and forced ten million people to cross the border and take shelter in India. The 1971 Genocide by the Pakistan Army is well documented and reported in the international media and also in the diplomatic correspondences during that period. \u003Cimg width=\"671\" height=\"291\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Flh3.googleusercontent.com\u002Fn3v5gYIxNs4gHGU1hOrDiRfmNIWxiaRn4GhupPgKFh9DMbgGJknwcBvjopX9zx-SOtS_Y4REa-7HNS-M9FPONHsxt5CEkWoN3ssF7PZ-eylsLSE8GSW7JQL87BudsM4xuadlUH768kiTmN-B7Jx8bp6W0SORCtmC3uO7HR_ExuX6cKxzxy4x2E-f8PrXPIC-fdHIWw\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaired by BASUG Chairman Bikash Chowdhury Barua, the side event was addressed by the Deputy Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the UN in Geneva Sanchita Haque, former High Court Justice in Sweden Justice Syed Asif Shakar, Director of Development Research Cooperation, Brussels Professor Tazeen Murshad, Brand ambassador of Bangladesh Daniel Seidl, Communications Director, Zurich Chris Blackburn, exiled Chairman of United Kashmir People’s National Party Sardar Shaukat Ali Kashmiri, President of Baloch Voice Association, France Munir Mengal, Ansar Ahmed Ullah, President, EBF UK orgnaining secretary of All European Muktijoddah  Sangsad Abul Kalam and Khalilur Rahman Mamun, President of International HR Commission BD, Switzerland\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Participants in the side event were members of the Bangladesh community in different European countries, European academics, researchers and human rights activists from other civil society organisations in Europe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The side event was live telecast by London-based British Bangla News channel and watched in different cities across the world including Dhaka and New York.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Justice Syed Ali Shakar said, for the international recognition of the 1971 genocide and to ensure justice to the victims and their family members, we must form an international commission including representatives also from Pakistan. Justice Syed Ali Shakar who is originally a Pakistani and now exiled in Sweden is an ardent supporter of Bangladesh and was vehement critic of Pakistan government and the military rule for their roles in Bangladesh in 1971 for which he was sent to jail for six months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her speech Deputy Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to UN in Geneva Sanchita Haque said, under the leadership of our Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the people of Bangladesh fought against discrimination, injustice, and oppression before their liberation in December 1971. During the culmination of our struggle, the horrendous ‘Operation Search Light’ was carried out by the Pakistani military on 25th March 1971 targeting unarmed civilians. In the following nine months, the Pakistan Army unleashed brutalities including mass murder, rape, looting, and torture upon the civilians, including children and women in a deliberate manner to eliminate the Bengalis from the-then East Pakistan, which is proudly Bangladesh now. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She added, in Bangladesh, International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) was set up to try the collaborators of the Pakistan Army who played a crucial role in facilitating the genocide. And the ICT is still continuing. The Bangladesh Government has declared 25th March as Genocide Day. Bangladesh condemns genocides committed anywhere, everywhere. We will continue to raise our voice against genocide and demand justice and accountability for the victims of genocides. We will also continue working for the recognition of 1971 genocide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg width=\"673\" height=\"343\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Flh3.googleusercontent.com\u002FeO1cvzF8Olja8brW8943YIRf8hgkUufmw3Qy7cQa8Nl0T-wuZn47LMAFb8qlbTqT667NWnr9CHWZKrHZaqr2vYaF0dTFeSf2af8dKVA6rqkxgVJEgA8faiEx-Z0HAYvp_PkFr3YtBZU9opxUyS2tQ73bMJYkOqtuGOwn6mK0wj-RMvzRNt8apkT7vGJeu32It0mNCQ\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prof Dr. Tazeen Murshid said, the demand for international recognition should never stop. The West Pakistan military sought to destroy Bengalis, their political leadership, the intellectual and professional middle classes, who were the backbone of society, and students, who are the future torch bearers of their heritage. It sought to annihilate the Hindu population, and work with loyalists willing to do its bidding. They thus unleashed their ‘kill and burn’ strategy on the population at large, while recruiting allies from extremist religious groups, Bihari minorities and other loyalists. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She added, if an international tribunal is not possible, there could be a public trial in a People’s Court, even if no verdict can be carried out. The aim would be to document both individual and collective crimes, to debate them and pass sentences in order to provide a moral victory and closure. Or it could take the form of a Truth Commission. The evidence so gathered should be disseminated widely and at every opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Friend of Bangladesh awardee Chris Blackburn said, Bangladesh wants international recognition for the crimes against humanity.  It’s probably the most promising time to achieve that goal. The United Nations like, the United States must also recognise the conflict as genocide, not just acknowledge the bravery of Archer K. Blood for standing up to the Nixon administration. Blood said it was a genocide. The UN should too. He appealed to the international community, history of 1971 is also our future. Please do the right and just thing. Recognise the genocide of 1971. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brand ambassador of Bangladesh Daniel Seidl in his speech said, ‘being a German I can say it takes time to get justice, recognition, compensation and even this year the United Nations General Assembly had to adopt a resolution on holocaust denial. He quoted, ‘if you don’t make a concerted effort to brand your nation, other people might do it for you and that is for their own purposes.\u003C\u002Fp>","The Hague, The Netherlands","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ebforum.eu\u002F","bbbe2d26-551c-4817-949f-572d06875acf","Geneva, 3 October 2022 : Speakers at a side event at the United Nations in Geneva reiterated the demand for the international recognition of Bangladesh genocide",[17,29,41,52,64,74,84,94,101,113],{"id":18,"title":19,"pubDate":20,"logoUrl":21,"thirdParty":10,"imageUrls":22,"orgId":14,"branches":24,"description":28},"6362ddb9-f653-48dc-afb9-89493371549f","Nieuwe software CalQore pakt versnipperde gegevensstroom tussen offerte en productie aan","2026-10-05T11:47:12.777+02:00","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.persberichten.nl\u002Ffile\u002Flogos\u002Fbbbe2d26-551c-4817-949f-572d06875acf\u002Fc8a4790b-aeb1-4376-ae1b-126d39483a30.jpg",[23,23],"https:\u002F\u002Flh3.googleusercontent.com\u002FThzCxfnrdj49vAkjXtnLWsJEl1GHaceF-JwYZkrEVGfumHseqbrtwyNt1Ym1fp9VDmJ3Cz4GZK_kUCUK-aN0WREKaCjo-oMMVXw",[25],{"id":26,"title":27},"12109","Arbeidsmarkt en ondernemen","Nieuwe software voor plaat-, buis- en profielbewerking verbindt offerte, werkvoorbereiding en productie.
