Preventing the violation of Refugees’ human rights in the Myanmar Conflict
| February 14, 2018
Since 2015, thousands of Rohingya people from Myanmar (Burma) have fled the country in a mass exodus towards Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and, mainly, Bangladesh. The International State Crime Initiative released a report on leaked government documents revealing the confinement in “ghettos”, sporadic random massacres, and restrictions of movement to the Rohingya people by the Myanmar authorities, in what, they assure, are the final stages of an organized process of genocide. Nevertheless, the Rohingya are being denied their refugee status and forced back to Myanmar by foreign governments. The prevention of the Refugees’ human rights violations in the Myanmar Conflict will be discussed on the UN Human Rights Council committee at C’MUN 2018. This video illustrates this topic as a teaser of the conference.
