The chief adviser of the interim government addressed the session of the United Nations General Assembly. Muhammad Yunus
The chief adviser of the interim government. Muhammad Yunus said that Bangladesh has been sheltering more than 1.2 million Rohingyas from Myanmar for humanitarian reasons for seven years. As a result, we are facing huge socio-economic-environmental losses. This crisis stemming from Myanmar’s internal problems has posed both conventional and non-conventional security threats to Bangladesh and our region.
He said these things in his speech at the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, United States, on Friday night (September 27), Bangladesh time.
Dr. Muhammad Yunus said, “We are committed to help the forcibly displaced Rohingyas from Myanmar to Bangladesh.” We seek continued adequate support from the international community to continue humanitarian assistance programs for the Rohingya and ensure their sustainable repatriation.
He said it is equally important to ensure justice through the ongoing trial process at the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court for the widespread human rights violations committed against the Rohingya. The consistent efforts of the United Nations and other international organizations to create a favorable environment for the Rohingyas to lead a free and dignified life in their own country deserve praise. The way for the Rohingyas to return to their homeland Rakhine with adequate security and rights must be facilitated. Keeping in view the constantly changing situation in Myanmar, Bangladesh is ready to work together with the international community to create an environment for the dignified and sustainable repatriation of Rohingyas to their country.
