WASHINGTON: Eight Security Council members called Friday for the Muslim Rohingya minority, victims in 2017 of what the UN calls a “genocide”, to participate in Myanmar’s upcoming elections.
The statement, published after a closed-door video conference, is signed by Belgium, the Dominican Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Tunisia, Britain and the US.
