UN must take active steps to document crimes in Myanmar: Analyst
An analyst believes the United Nations should "take active steps” to document the testimony of the Rohingya Muslims who have fled the violence in Myanmar, adding that it should refer the case to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in order to hold the perpetrators accountable.
“Instead of having to prove what everybody already knows, we should at this stage be well into the process of stopping this ongoing new Nakba, ensuring the safe return not only of the 700,000 Rohingya driven out of Myanmar in this latest clearing operation but also those who were driven out before and we should be well into the process of compelling organizations like the United Nations to focus on doing what needs to be done to ensure not only that the Rohingya receive justice and have their citizenship returned, but that those responsible for these crimes against humanity are held accountable,” Barry Grossman told Press TV in an interview on Thursday.
More than 600,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled the predominantly-Buddhist country of Myanmar to Bangladesh since August 25, when a crackdown on the Rohingya intensified in Rakhine. The government has been engaged in a campaign against the minority, which the UN and human rights groups have called “a textbook example of ethnic cleansing.”
