Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei wāhanga - Ko te Hekeretari Matua o te Kotahitanga o ngā Iwi o te Ao, ko Kurt Waldheim, i toro ki Bangladesh i te 9 o Hānuere 1973. I whakawhiwhia e te United Nations te tautoko mo te hanga ano i nga waahi penei i te Chalna Port (i whakaingoatia ki Mongla Port) i muri i te pakaru o te pakanga Liberation Bangladesh
He aha? I awhina te UN ki te whakahoki mai i nga Bengalis i mauheretia i Pakistan ki Bangladesh i te tau 1973. Kaore a Bangladesh i uru ki te United Nations i te tau 1972 me te 1973 na te mea i whakamahia e Haina tana veto mo Pakistan ki te aukati i te whakawhiwhinga ki a Bangladesh. I te 17 o Mahuru 1974, ka noho a Bangladesh hei mema pono o te United Nations. Ko Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, te perehitini o Bangladesh, i korero i te reo Bengali i te General Assembly i te 25 o Mahuru 1974.
