Country overview

Bangladesh's overall security environment is assessed as elevated but improving, reflected in the U.S. State Department's downgrade from Level 3 to Level 2 in July 2026 following the completion of the February 2026 elections and the return to civilian rule under Tarique Rahman's BNP government.

Significant risks persist across the country, including terrorism, civil unrest, crime, and kidnapping, with the Chittagong Hill Tracts remaining under a Level 4 Do Not Travel designation from U.S. authorities and an FCDO advisory against all but essential travel.

Human rights organizations and civil-society groups have characterized the security situation for minority communities as fragile and alarming, and the new government faces ongoing challenges in restoring law and order.
