Bangladesh’s leader says the crisis involving Muslim Rohingya refugees from neighboring Myanmar is now “going beyond the camps” where they are staying and “becoming a regional threat.”<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina says the international community must “understand the untenability of the situation”.<\/p>\n
Bangladesh\u2019s leader appealed to UN member states Friday to ensure that those in Myanmar who are committing human rights violations against Rohingya Muslims are held accountable.<\/p>\n
Hasina delivered the statement in Bangla and submitted a four-point proposal to solve the Rohingya crisis and speed up the repatriation process of the persecuted people.<\/p>\n
The proposal includes repealing the 1982 Citizenship Act of Myanmar which disqualified Rohingya as citizens of the country so that they feel confident to return home.<\/p>\n
Hasina also proposed that the authorities in Myanmar arrange a tour for representatives of the Rohingya to Rakhine state so they can assess whether they would agree to return.<\/p>\n
She said without the presence of international representatives, the Rohingya would be afraid to accompany the Myanmar authorities out of fear for their safety.<\/p>\n
She says Bangladesh will continue to work with Myanmar to encourage repatriation of the Rohingya. She has proposed at the UN this week a resolution ensuring that Myanmar and the international community must ensure the safety of any Rohingya returnees.<\/p>\n
The premier says the voluntary return of Rohingya refugees to their homes in Myanmar’s Rakhine state “in safety, security and dignity” is the only solution to the problem.<\/p>\n
