New York, February 13 – The United Nations has stated that the extradition of Bangladesh’s former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is a bilateral issue between Bangladesh and the requesting country. The UN emphasized that extradition matters are handled by the countries involved and reiterated its role in supporting international law, without intervening in such disputes unless there is a clear violation of international law.
The issue has led to political debates in Bangladesh, with some calling for Sheikh Hasina’s return, while the UN maintained that it does not involve itself in these matters unless required by international legal standards. Bangladesh has consistently defended the legitimacy of Hasina’s government, making any potential extradition request complex.
