A/RES/80/221
Situation of human rights of Rohingya Muslims and other
minorities in Myanmar
Expressing deep concern that, in Rakhine State, the remaining Rohingya
Muslims continue to be largely segregated and discriminated against with respect to
accessing citizenship and enjoying their human rights and fundamental freedoms, a
large number of whom remain confined in camps with no freedom of movement and
grossly restricted access to basic services, including food, health and psychosocial
care and education, as well as livelihoods,
Expressing its concern that Rohingya Muslims and other minorities, in
particular women and girls, remain at significant risk of sexual and gender-based
violence, notably in the context of the continued conflict between the Myanmar
security and armed forces and the Arakan Army,
Continuing to underline the need for the Myanmar military and other armed
groups to cease all actions that run counter to the protection of all persons within the
country, including those belonging to the Rohingya community, by respecting
international law, including international human rights law and international
humanitarian law, and ending violence, including sexual and gender-based violence,
and calling for urgent steps to ensure justice in respect of all human rights violations
and violations of international humanitarian law so that those displaced by violence
are able to voluntarily return in safety and dignity to their places of origin or to a
place of their choice in a sustainable manner,
Alarmed at the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation in Myanmar, the
continued attacks on medical and humanitarian personnel, the lack of basic healthcare
and lifesaving assistance, and the denial of safe, rapid and unhindered humanitarian
access, and calling for all parties to the conflict, in particular the Myanmar military,
to abide by international law, including international humanitarian law, in this matter,
and to enable humanitarian actors to deliver humanitarian aid consistent with the
humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality and independence,
Expressing deep sympathy to all the victims and survivors of the earthquakes of
March 2025, which resulted in mass casualties, injuries and significant destruction of
infrastructure, welcoming the aid provided to date, and urging the further provision
of humanitarian aid to all in need, including through organizations already operating
in affected areas, in line with the humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality,
neutrality and independence,
Noting with deep concern reports of a dramatic rise in hunger and malnutrition
in Rakhine State, driven by prolonged conflict, severe movement restrictions, soaring
food prices and the reduction of support due to a significant decrease in humanitarian
funding, and that the lack of sufficient humanitarian access, especially to food, in
particular to areas with internally displaced persons and to the areas from which many
people have been and continue to be forcibly displaced and in which many others,
such as Rohingya Muslims, are living in precarious conditions, is exacerbating the
humanitarian crisis, which may lead to hunger-induced displacement and more influx
to Bangladesh,
Expressing deep concern at the severe deterioration of humanitarian access
throughout Myanmar, particularly in conflict-affected regions, due to systematic
restrictions imposed by the Myanmar military, ongoing armed conflict and increasing
interference in aid distribution by the Myanmar military and by other armed actors,
which have collectively left many displaced and vulnerable populations, including
Rohingya Muslims and ethnic minorities, without adequate food, healthcare and
protection,
Condemning the deliberate obstruction of humanitarian assistance, including the
arrest, detention and killing of humanitarian workers, the occupation of aid
infrastructure as well as the exploitation or restriction of aid delivery by the Myanmar
