Bangladesh has received 301 recommendations from the 110 countries who took part in the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of the country in Geneva on November 13.
Director general of the UN wing Md Emdadul Islam Chowdhury said at the weekly briefing of the foreign ministry on Thursday that they would have two months to decide on those recommendations.
Relevant ministries would see which recommendations can be taken, he said.
This is the fourth cycle of the UPR Bangladesh faced as it comes every 4.5 years when all UN member states place their human rights situation at the Human Rights Council and face questions and advices from the other countries.
Usually, Bangladesh takes most of the recommendations of the member states and set roadmap to implement those in an effort to improve the human rights situation of the country.
Law minister Anisul Haq led the Bangladesh delegation.
Most of the countries hailed Bangladesh's progress while the US and the UK were critical on the general elections and spaces for civil society.
The US recommended Bangladesh to protect the ability of the citizens to vote and choose their government by ensuring free and fair elections held in a peaceful manner.
The UK recommended measures to guarantee a safe and transparent environment for civil society, human rights defenders and the media, ensuring that they can exercise their right to freedom of expression and assembly without fear of repercussions.
Replying to a question, the director general said the media report of UN seeking the names of the places where people of enforced disappearances were kept was not fact-based.
"This is not the fact," he said, adding that in the UPR process it's not the UN, it's the member states who ask questions to one another.
