Friends, please help us lobby the international community and the UN for realization of the following resolution: We, the indigenous people of CHT, request the UN in general and the UNPFII in particular to pursue its resolution stated below for promotion and protection of human rights and realization of peace, security and development in our region. It may be mentioned here that we havent realized the resolution till today. “…In June, UNPFII called on the Bangladesh government to undertake a phased withdrawal of all temporary army camps from CHT, urged it to declare a timeframe for implementation of the CHTPeace Accord, and to establish an independent commission to inquire into human rights violations perpetrated against “indigenous peoples”. UNPFII further recommended that the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations (UNPKO) review the military personnel and units who are being sent on UN missions, to make sure no personnel or unit is taken from any that are accused by “indigenous Jumma people” of violating human rights in CHT. At the ECOSOC session Bangladesh had to accept a “compromise” due to lacking solidarity from other 53 member-states. However the concerns of Bangladesh raised at the meeting were included as “noted” in the nature of “footnotes”, the release said.” int.piplinks.org/un-rejects-bangladesh-government%2526%2523039%3Bs-view
