Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus has called for an “urgent attention” to the Rohingya crisis, including convening an international conference, to find a sustainable solution to the crisis and ensuring “safe and dignified” return of the Rohingya people to Myanmar.
“We cannot ignore the people who continue to be persecuted, uprooted and subjected to gross violations of human rights in the Rakhine State (Myanmar) or Gaza. No person, regardless of their number or identity, is expandable,” he said in a message marking the United Nations Day being observed on Thursday.
Bangladesh is now hosting over 1.3 million Rohingyas in Cox’s Bazar and Bhasan Char with the new arrivals of 40,000 Rohingyas recently.
United Nations Day marks the anniversary of the entry into force in 1945 of the UN Charter.
