Why is a 'death squad' from Bangladesh allowed to go on UN missions? | DW Documentary

With this investigation, we can reveal that two of the UN's troop contributing countries - Bangladesh and Sri Lanka - are sending officers on peacekeeping missions who are implicated human rights violations like torture and extrajudicial killings back home. The UN is seemingly turning a blind eye.
For this story we teamed up with Netra News and Süddeutsche Zeitung.
An Investigation by Naomi Conrad, Arafatul Islam & Birgitta Schülke

I am also a heir of a personel from Bangladesh defence force. My dad used to serve in the Air Force for more then 2 decades also he particapated in peace keeping mission in lead by United Nation during the 'Operation Desert Storm'. During that time, Bangladesh received numerous international honors and recognition as global peacekeepers. My family has a strong legacy in peacekeeping, with my uncle and other relatives also participating in UN missions in Mali and Haiti. But if you talk about the today's situation of Bangladesh armed force, people tags the defence personels as the government's crook. And this situation took a turnover after the mutiny happened back in 2009, when Awami league won the election and handed with power in 2008. High-ranking officials, including the son of the so-called 'Mother of Democracy,' were implicated in a conspiracy to destabilize the defense services. The mutiny resulted in the deaths of 52 top army officers, creating a climate of fear regarding any potential military coup against Prime Minister Hasina's regime. Since then, Hasina has strategically placed her close family members and trusted associates in charge of the military, Air Force, police, Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), and Navy, ensuring their loyalty. From 2008 to 2024, Bangladesh has witnessed numerous incidents of extrajudicial killings, defense corruption, and border killings by the BSF. Despite these issues, no significant actions have been taken by the armed forces. Instead, the government has increased benefits for defense personnel, providing them with government-funded apartments and high wages by missusing public tax to secure millitary's loyalty and protect Hasina's regime. Meanwhile, the majority of the population suffers from high commodity prices, excessive taxation, poverty, and malnutrition. But these government loyalists and their families lead luxurious lives at home and abroad, leaving the people to bear the burden of their debts.

Why don't you talk about NATO forces!!Have they treated the people of Afghanistan, Iraq humanely? The history of European colonial armies is not very good. 1. Afghanistan: - Kunduz Airstrike (2009): A NATO airstrike ordered by a German commander killed around 100 people, including civilians. - Night Raids: Reports of civilian casualties and abuses during night raids conducted by NATO forces. - U.S. Soldiers' Misconduct (2010-2012): Instances of U.S. soldiers' misconduct, including urinating on corpses and posing with dead insurgents. 2. Iraq: - Abu Ghraib Scandal (2003-2004): U.S. soldiers involved in the torture and abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison. - Haditha Massacre (2005): U.S. Marines killed 24 Iraqi civilians in Haditha. 3.Bosnia and Herzegovina: - Srebrenica Massacre (1995): Although NATO was not directly involved in the massacre, failures in protecting civilians under their mandate were criticized. 4. Kosovo: - NATO Bombing Campaign (1999)**: Civilian casualties resulted from NATO airstrikes, including the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade and a refugee convoy. 5. Libya: - NATO Intervention (2011): Civilian casualties during NATO's bombing campaign aimed at overthrowing Muammar Gaddafi. 6. Other Incidents: - Sexual Misconduct: Cases of sexual abuse and exploitation by NATO personnel in various missions. - Misuse of Force: Incidents where excessive force was used against civilians or detainees.
