Joint written statement by the ALRC and Odhikar submitted at the 37th session of the UN HRC- MYANMAR: The UN should act effectively to stop State orchestrated genocidal violence against the Rohingya

The Asian Legal Resource Centre (ALRC) and Odhikar draw the attention of the UN Human Rights Council. It is concerned about the current situation of the Rohingya Community in the Rakhine State of Myanmar. We seek immediate and effective action from the international human rights community. There is a need to protect the Rohingya people from further violence by Myanmar security forces. There is an undeniable need for and ensuring the safe return of the Rohingyas from Bangladesh to their original homes in Myanmar.
