They also stressed the implementation of the
arrangement of Rohingya repatriation signed between Bangladesh and Myanmar in
this regard, UNB reported on Sunday
Bangladesh has been hosting over 1.1 million
Rohingyas and most of them entered Cox’s Bazar since August 25, 2017 amid
military crackdown on them in Rakhine State.
The 18th Summit of the heads of state and
government of NAM, a forum of 120 member countries, 17 observer countries and
10 observer organizations, was held on October 25-26 in Baku, Azerbaijan. Prime
Minister Sheikh Hasina has also attended the Summit.
On October 24, UN Special Rapporteur on the
situation of human rights in Myanmar Yanghee Lee called for sanctions against
Myanmar military-run companies and commanders responsible for serious rights
violations.
Lee told the UN General Assembly in New York
that she sees no discernable improvement to the situation in Myanmar and called
for targeted sanctions against the Tatmadaw’s (Myanmar Army) companies and its
commanders most responsible for serious violations.
She said the Security Council must refer the
entire situation to the International Criminal Court or establish an
international tribunal to try alleged perpetrators of international crimes,
according to a message received here from Geneva.
The heads of state and government at NAM
reiterated their “concern” over the humanitarian situation in Myanmar’s Rakhine
State.
They condemned all acts of violence,
including attacks on Myanmar security forces, and those committed by any party
that adversely affect unarmed civilians and resulted in loss of lives and the
displacement of large numbers of people.
They stressed the need to “find a comprehensive
and durable solution” to address the root causes of the conflict and create
conducive environment by Myanmar so that the affected communities can rebuild
their lives in Rakhine State.
