The 56th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva on Wednesday (10 July) unanimously adopted a resolution on repatriation of forcible displaced Rohingya population to Rakhine State in Myanmar.
Over a million Myanmar nationals, popularly known as Rohingya, sheltered in Bangladesh amid military brutality in August 2017.
The UN resolution stressed the need for a sustainable solution to the Rohingya crisis, by creating a conducive environment in Myanmar's Rakhine for repatriation and by ensuring justice and accountability for the persecuted people.
The resolution titled "Human Rights Situation of Rohingya Muslims and Other Minorities of Myanmar" was tabled by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on behalf of its member states, said a press release of the Bangladesh Permanent Mission in Geneva.
This was adopted without a vote after an intense negotiation where the Bangladesh delegation led by acting Permanent Representative Ms. Shanchita Haque made a significant contribution.
In the context of the instability, volatile political situation and uncertainties prevailing in Myanmar, representatives of different countries have expressed their deep concern over prolong delay in repatriation of the Rohingya population.
The resolution highly praised the government of Bangladesh for continuing to provide temporary shelter to the forcibly displaced Rohingyas despite enormous challenges.
It expressed concern over the increasing level of frustration of the Rohingyas and associated spill-over effects ensued from the long-
standing uncertainty over repatriation and emphasised the need for sustainable and voluntary repatriation.
The resolution also called for increased international cooperation in the context of the gradually decreasing and inadequate funds for humanitarian assistance for the Rohingyas sheltered in Bangladesh.
The resolution highlighted the need for international accountability of atrocities committed on the Rohingyas.
It expressed support for the ongoing judicial process at the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice.
