Home Adviser Lt Gen (retd) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury has welcomed the report published by the Human Rights Office (OHCHR) of the United Nations (UN), saying that the government has seen the proposals and they will sit with all the stakeholders soon to discuss them.

"We will inform later if any decision is taken on whether to limit the jurisdictions of the security forces," the adviser said while replying to a question on what the government thinks about the UN proposal to curtail the jurisdiction of the law enforcement agencies of the country.

The adviser made the comments while inaugurating the online system for on-arrival visa processing at his office at the Secretariat today (13 February).

The UN has recommended disbanding the RAB and returning personnel not involved in serious violations to their home units.

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) made the recommendations yesterday (12 February).

In the report released, it also said to confine the functions of the Border Guard Bangladesh to border control issues, and suggested the DGFI be limited to military intelligence.

It further asked to demilitarise control over the Ansar/VDP to the "extent that they assume law enforcement support tasks."
