Urging the international community to come forward to resolve the long-pending Rohingya crisis, Chief Adviser Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus has said if this crisis is not resolved, not only Bangladesh but the entire region will also fall into trouble.
“We have to be careful…we must pay attention to this,” he said while speaking at a high-level discussion about the Rohingya crisis on the sidelines of the annual session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on Tuesday evening.
BSS reported that Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain, High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi, ICC Prosecutor Karim AA Khan, and IOM Director General Amy Pope, among others, spoke at the event.
Prof Yunus proposed three proposals to resolve the Rohingya crisis to the international community.
Firstly, the UN Secretary-General should convene a Rohingya crisis conference with all parties.
Moreover, the ‘Joint Response Plan’ must be revived.
And thirdly, the international community should assist Rohingya genocide justice with real support.
To ensure long-term peace and security in Myanmar, justice for these Rohingyas, who were persecuted by Myanmar’s military junta, must be ensured, he said.
