The United Nations calls for strengthening solidarity and support for Rohingya refugees

In a press release, UN spokesman Stephen Dujarric said that the Rohingya and other civilians in Rakhine State are falling into the mutual fire between the Myanmar army and the Arakan army, and they are exposed to forced recruitment, human rights violations and other violations.

Constant violence has forced more Rohingya to flee, including to Bangladesh, “which is already hosting more than 1.1 million Myanmar refugees,” said the statement.

Reports about the repulsion, deportation and deportation throughout the region raises serious concerns about the possible violations of the principle of non -forced repetition and the decrease in the area of ​​asylum. Dujarric said that the reduction of financing leads to a sharp reduction in education, nutritional assistance, healthcare, livelihood opportunities and protection services.

The spokesman quoted the Secretary -General to confirm his call to protect all civilians in accordance with the obligations stipulated in international law, including international human rights law, international humanitarian law and international refugee law.

The spokesman pointed to the visit of the Secretary -General earlier this year to Cox Bazar, where he witnessed the steadfastness of the Rohingya societies, and stressed the urgent need to enhance international solidarity and increase support, in parallel with the efforts made to reach a comprehensive political solution that aims to the Rohingya in a purposeful way, and addresses their displacement and the root causes of the long -term crisis.

The spokesman expressed the hope of the Secretary -General that the high -level conference on the Rohingya and other minorities, which will be held in New York on September 30, according to the assignment of the United Nations General Assembly, will draw the attention of the international community again to the urgent need to find permanent solutions.

The Special Envoy of the Secretary -General to Myanmar continues to involve all stakeholders in efforts to stop violence, and to launch a political process led by Myanmar, to create favorable conditions for the voluntary, safe, generous and sustainable return of Rohingya to Myanmar.
