Hasina to place 4-point proposal at UN on Rohingya crisis
Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said she is set to place a four-point proposal at the ongoing United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) aiming to end the protracted Rohingya crisis.
She said, “Let me reiterate the following points which I shall be presenting to the (current) 74th UNGA Session”.
The proposals are:
1. Myanmar must express clear political will manifested by concrete actions for sustainable return and reintegration of Rohingyas to Myanmar.
2. Myanmar must build trust among the Rohingyas by discarding discriminatory laws and practices and allowing “go and see” visit to the Northern Rakhine by the Rohingya representatives.
3. Myanmar must guarantee security and safety of the Rohingyas, among others, by deploying civilian monitors from international community in the Rakhine state.
4. International community must ensure that the root causes of Rohingya problem are addressed and atrocity crimes committed against the Rohingyas are accounted for. OIC initiative to take the issue to ICJ is indeed a significant step towards that direction.
The prime minister made the announcement while addressing a “High-level Event on the Situation of Rohingya Minority in Myanmar” here on Tuesday afternoon local time.
The Permanent Mission of Bangladesh to the UN and the OIC Secretariat organised the event at the UN Headquarters.
