Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has sought support from international community for the trial of war criminals in Bangladesh.
The premier made the call while addressing the the 69th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Saturday.
"We look towards international community's full appreciation of the aspirations of our people for this long-awaited justice," she said.
Sheikh Hasina said her government remains pledge-bound to bring to justice the culprits of war crimes in 1971 to uphold peace and rule of law and end a culture of impunity.
She also mentioned that highly transparent, impartial and independent International Crimes Tribunals (ICT) of Bangladesh have already completed trials of a few key criminals who perpetrated heinous crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971.
Mentioning terrorism and extremism as major impediments to global peace and development, Sheikh Hasina said Bangladesh maintains a "zero-tolerance" policy to all forms of terrorism, violent extremism, radicalisation and religion-based politics.
"Bangladesh has no room for terrorism and extremism and our fight against terrorism will continue," Hasina said.
Condemning killings in Gaza by Israeli forces, Sheikh Hasina expressed solidarity with Palestine.
"We have also significantly enhanced transparency and accountability in governance by strengthening our election, Anti-Corruption, Human Rights and Information Commissions," said the prime minister.
She said Bangladesh believes in peace and it has so far contributed 128,133 peace-keepers in 54 UN peace missions.
