Create environment for safe return of Rohingya
A top UN official has said repatriation and reconciliation policies will fail without accountability and non-discriminatory rule of law and public safety measures to address the fears and distrust among communities in Rakhine.
“But the origins and solutions to the Rohingya crisis rest in Myanmar,” UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman told the Security Council in his briefing on developments in Myanmar on Tuesday.
He said the UN was grateful for the continued generosity of the government and people of Bangladesh, and called on the international community to continue to support these efforts.
“We urge all Myanmar leaders, including in the military, to condemn incitement to racial hatred and violence. We encourage them to adopt measures to defuse tensions between communities and create an environment for safe and dignified repatriation, including through interfaith initiatives,” he said.
