The July National Charter (Bengali: জুলাই জাতীয় সনদ, romanized: Julāi Jātīẏô Sônôd) is a political declaration in Bangladesh based on the July Revolution of 2024. A preliminary draft of the charter was released on 28 July 2025, following a series of consultations involving 30 political parties. These discussions were facilitated by the National Consensus Commission, a commission formed by the Chief Adviser Muhammad 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.[1][2]
