our lands with the support of the government and the state military. In the recent past, they committed 18 large-scale communal attacks even during the post-Accord period after 1997. It is observed that the non-implementation of treaties, agreements and other constructive arrangements between indigenous peoples and States is a source of conflict. This is also true in Bangladesh, where CHT remains largely un-implemented. This is a cause of the continuance of conflict situations. With this backdrop, in order to recovering from the on-going crisis and ensuring durable solutions in the CHT, I, on behalf of indigenous Tumma peoples, would like to appeal to the international community including UN Forum on Minority Issues to influence the government of Bangladesh for:   Demilitarization of the CHT region through withdrawing all temporary camps and de facto military rule 'Opetation Uttoron'.  Rehabilitation of.Bengali settlers outside CHT with dignity. Declaration of a timeframe road map for the speedy, proper and full implementation of the CHT Accord. Thank you Honourable Chair.
