UN for sustained HR monitoring on ground before Rohingya repatriation

Dhaka, June 18 ( UNI) UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein has reiterated that no Rohingya repatriation should take place in the absence of sustained human rights monitoring on the ground, in the areas concerned.
In Myanmar, as the Council is aware, there are clear indications of well-organised, widespread and systematic attacks continuing to target the Rohingyas in Rakhine State as an ethnic group, amounting possibly to acts of genocide if so established by a court of law," he said.
The UN rights chief made the observation while delivering his opening statement and global update of human rights concerns at 38th session of the Human Rights Council on Monday in Geneva.
