The July Declaration (Bengali: জুলাই ঘোষণাপত্র) is the official recognizing document of the July Uprising in Bangladesh. It was formally announced by Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus prior to 5 August 2025, marking the first anniversary of the uprising. The declaration, which was prepared under strict confidentiality, outlined 28 points addressing political, constitutional and governance issues.
The document is characterized by a fundamental rejection of the political framework that existed under the Awami League-led government, advocating for constitutional restructuring and long-term democratic reforms. According to the document, the declaration would be considered effective retroactively from 5 August 2024. On the day of the first anniversary, 5 August 2025, Muhammad Yunus read out the declaration in front of the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban.
Disagreements persist among political parties regarding the contents of the declaration as well as whether it should be incorporated into the nation's constitution. If consensus is reached, the proclamation is expected to be published as a formal acknowledgment of the uprising.
