The Dhaka Times Desk The United Nations has urged Suu Kyi to visit Cox's Bazar to see firsthand the plight of Rohingyas who fled to Bangladesh to escape the horrors of 'ethnic cleansing' in Myanmar.
Seven experts from the world body have urged Myanmar's ruling party leader Aung San Suu Kyi to visit Cox's Bazar to talk to Rohingya refugees and see their indescribable plight. At the same time, he called on the Burmese government to stop the persecution of the most oppressed people in the world. They made this call in a statement of the United Nations High Commission on Human Rights last Tuesday.
The statement said there are credible allegations of serious human rights violations against the Rohingya. These include extrajudicial killings, excessive use of force, torture and abuse, sexual violence, forced displacement of people, burning of more than 200 Rohingya villages, and rampages there. 10,000 houses were a victim of this arson and violence. But the entire Rohingya community cannot pay for any work of the Rohingya Salvation Army.
Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi called on the international community to understand the situation in Myanmar in a speech given on September 19, experts said. But in the last few weeks, 430,000 people have fled to Bangladesh. We call on Suu Kyi to meet Rohingyas in Rakhine and Cox's Bazar. If there is goodwill he must listen to the people who have fled.
On the other hand, the US-based international human rights organization Human Rights Watch (HRW) has termed the Myanmar army's repression of the Rohingya in Rakhine as a crime against humanity in the civilized world. They made this observation in a report published on the organization's website on September 25. Human rights organization HRW has identified 4 areas of crimes against humanity committed against Rohingyas after receiving huge evidence of killings, rapes and evictions.
Human Rights Watch reports that in 2012 and 2016, extremist Buddhist monks and members of various Rakhine ethnic groups carried out brutal killings of Rohingya with the help of state security forces. According to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court-ICC, a crime against humanity is a deliberate act committed through widespread and systematic attacks against the civilian population. Such attacks must be part of state or organizational policy. According to international legal jurisdiction, this attack must be widespread or structured. Assault broadly refers to 'the level of crime or number of victims of an incident' and structured assault refers to 'systematic planning'.
