After concluding her official visit to Bangladesh recently, Bachelet said, “I raised my deep concern about these serious allegations with Government ministers and highlighted the need for an impartial, independent, and transparent investigation into these allegations, accompanied by security sector reform.”
Enforced disappearance has become a global problem and is not restricted to a specific region of the world, said the UN.
