TheJuly National Charter 2025 (Bengali:জুলাই জাতীয় সনদ ২০২৫) is a political declaration in Bangladesh based on the consensus between30 political parties and theinterim government over theconstitutional, electoral, and administrative reforms in theaftermath of the July Revolution in 2024. It was signed on 17 October 2025 at South Plaza of theNational Parliament by theNational Consensus Commission and 25 political parties of Bangladesh.^[1][2]

The July Charter follows theJuly Revolution, a mass uprising in Bangladesh in July 2024.

A preliminary draft of the July Charter, intended to bring reform to theConstitution of Bangladesh, was released on 28 July 2025, following a series of consultations involving the 30 political parties and the interim government underMuhammad Yunus. These discussions were facilitated by theNational Consensus Commission, a commission formed by theChief Adviser Yunus to draft the document. After further deliberation and review, the participating parties are expected to formally sign and adopt the final version of the charter. The charter consists of 28 points.^[3][4] On 31 July 2025, protesters injured during the July-August mass uprising blockaded Dhaka'sShahbagh intersection, demanding the immediate declaration of the "July Charter" and "July Declaration."^[5] The demonstration caused major traffic disruption, with participants vowing to continue until their demands are fulfilled.^[6][7]

The commitments of the Charter include:^[8][9]

1. Ensuring its full implementation in accordance with public aspirations and sacrifices;
2. Enacting recommendations related to governance, the judiciary, elections, public administration, law enforcement, and anti-corruption through necessary constitutional amendments, legal revisions, or new legislation;
3. Completing these reforms within two years of the formation of a government elected after the Charter's formal adoption;
4. Establishing legal and constitutional safeguards throughout the implementation process;
5. Guaranteeing full legal and constitutional protection for the Charter's contents; and
6. Formally recognizing, within theConstitution, the historical significance of the 2024 pro-democracy movement and popular uprising that led to the Charter.

The July Charter was finalised in August 2025 after weeks of consensus talks. During the process, 11 notes of dissent, 9 of which came from the BNP and its allies, were filed to register disagreement with some key aspects of the July Charter. However, commission vice-president Ali Riaz remained optimistic about the implementation of the Charter.^[10]

The charter was signed on 17 October 2025 at South Plaza of theNational Parliament by theNational Consensus Commission and 24 political parties of Bangladesh.^[11] TheGano Forum signed the charter on 19 October 2025, bringing the total number of signatory parties to 25.^[12]

Bangladesh Nationalist Party and many more remained neutral but stated that it would benefit some parties even more, notably the student-led partyNational Citizen Party.^[15] BNP later said that it supported state recognition of the charter, but opposed incorporating the July Charter in the constitution.^[16]

While theNational Citizen Party refrained from signing the charter demanding its legality immediately, theCommunist Party of Bangladesh, theSocialist Party of Bangladesh, theSocialist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist) and theBangladesh Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal refrained from signing the charter alleging that it distorts the history of theLiberation War of Bangladesh and alters theconstitutional principles.^[1][11]
