VENEZUELA
The Secretary-General commends the Venezuelan people for their determination to express their will peacefully through the ballot box.
We have taken note of the announcement made by the electoral authorities as well as the concerns expressed by political actors and members of the international community. The Secretary-General calls for complete transparency and encourages the timely publication of the election results and a breakdown by polling stations.
The Secretary-General trusts that all electoral disputes will be addressed and resolved peacefully and calls on all Venezuelan political leaders and their supporters for moderation. He recalls that electoral authorities should undertake their work independently and without interference to guarantee the free expression of the will of the electorate.
BANGLADESH
The Secretary-General remains deeply concerned about the situation in Bangladesh. He notes reports of the resumption of student protests today and reiterates his call for calm and restraint.
The Secretary-General is concerned about reported mass arrests of thousands of young people and political opposition in connection with the current student movement. He underscores the importance of due process and the right to freedom of expression and the right to peaceful assembly. He is also alarmed by emerging reports about the excessive use of force by security forces and credible evidence of human rights violations. He reiterates his call for all acts of violence to be investigated promptly, transparently, and impartially, and for those responsible to be held to account.
We continue to raise our concerns about the situation in the country with relevant authorities, both in the capital Dhaka and here in New York and we count on Bangladesh to respect and uphold human rights, including as a top troop contributing country to United Nations Peacekeeping missions. We have taken note of the statements by the Bangladeshi authorities that UN-marked vehicles are no longer being deployed within Bangladesh. We remind and reiterate that UN troop- and police- contributing countries are to use UN insignia and equipment marked with the UN insignia only when they are performing mandated tasks as UN peacekeepers in the context of their deployment within a UN peacekeeping operation.
SOUTH ASIA FLOODS
In South Asia, UNICEF says it is alarmed about reports of children and young people impacted by torrential rain, flash floods in Afghanistan, in Bangladesh, in India and Pakistan.
UNICEF is on the ground in all of these countries supporting the governments and partners to support affected children and families. Some of the support provided has been in the form of bed nets, tarpaulins for temporary shelter, buckets, mugs and other essential items.
UNICEF is also calling for $9.3 million from the international community to support emergency preparedness and strengthen climate-resilience programmes for children in the region.
