UN Human Rights High Commissioner Volker Türk on Wednesday laid emphasis on investigating all killings and freedom of assembly and expression.
"Any killing needs to be investigated. We can’t allow killings to happen," he said while responding to a question.
Türk met Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus and advisers before wrapping up his two-day visit.
The UN team might take a month to submit its report on human rights violations committed from July 1 to August 15.
Earlier, the UN rights chief received an official invitation from the Chief Adviser to conduct an impartial and independent fact-finding mission into human rights violations committed from July 1 to August 15.
The office deployed a fact-finding team to Bangladesh, with a view to reporting on violations and abuses perpetrated during the protests, analysing root causes and making recommendations to advance justice and accountability and for longer-term reforms.
Volker Türk made a phone call to Bangladesh interim government Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus in August.
During his recent visit to New York, Chief Adviser Prof Yunus sought support from foreign friends for Bangladesh's new journey towards a happy and prosperous future, stressing that they do not want to miss the opportunity to build a new Bangladesh.
As part of an ongoing engagement with the interim government, an advance team of the UN rights body visited Bangladesh from August 22 to 29, and met student leaders of the recent protests, as well as advisers in the interim government, the chief justice, senior officers of the police and armed forces, lawyers, journalists and human rights defenders, representatives of political parties, and minority and indigenous communities.
