DHAKA, 09 July 2022, (TON): The United Nations Human Rights Council has adopted a resolution calling upon Myanmar to repatriate the persecuted Rohingyas taking shelter in Bangladesh without delay despite initial opposition from some Western countries.
A press release from the Permanent Mission of Bangladesh in Geneva said “Organisation of Islamic Cooperation on behalf of its all member states placed the resolution on the ‘State of Human Rights of Rohingya Muslims and other minorities in Myanmar’ at an initiative of Bangladesh in the ongoing 50th session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.”
Press release said “the council expressed concerns at the reports of serious human rights violations and abuses in Myanmar, particularly against Rohingya Muslims and other minorities.”
The Western countries opposed the resolution that called for the immediate repatriation of Rohingya to Myanmar citing the ground that the repatriation was not possible unless the ongoing political crisis in Myanmar was over.
