minorities in Myanmar

military and other armed actors, and urging all parties to the conflict to ensure
unimpeded, safe and sustained humanitarian access in accordance with international
humanitarian and human rights law, and to support local civil society organizations
and cross-border aid channels that are capable of reaching populations in dire need,
Commending the ongoing humanitarian efforts and commitments that the
Government of Bangladesh, in cooperation with United Nations agencies and the
international community, including all humanitarian actors, has extended to those
fleeing human rights violations and abuses in Myanmar, welcoming in this regard the
memorandum of understanding between the Government of Bangladesh and the
Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, on behalf of the
United Nations, to provide humanitarian assistance to the Rohingya Muslims
relocated to Bhashan Char, and recognizing the extensive investments that the
Government of Bangladesh has made in its Bhashan Char project, including in the
facilities and infrastructure, and welcoming further efforts to facili tate access to work
and livelihood opportunities while noting the importance of efforts to ensure the
sustainability of the project,
Expressing grave concern at the persistent decline in international humanitarian
assistance and recent reductions in funding for Rohingya Muslims temporarily
sheltered in Bangladesh, including the reduction in food aid, the suspension of youth
education programmes and the continued underfunding of healthcare services, which
have disproportionately affected women, children and persons with disabilities, and
reiterating in this regard its grave concern that, despite the unprecedented generosity
of host countries and donors, the gap between humanitarian needs on the ground and
availability of funding continues to grow, in both Rakhine State and in refugee camps
in Bangladesh, and noting with alarm that, as of October 2025, less than 40 per cent
of the joint response plan for the Rohingya humanitarian crisis has been funded,
recalling in this context the need for more equitable burden - and responsibilitysharing, and encouraging in this regard Member States and other actors to leverage
the follow-up process of the second Global Refugee Forum, held in 2023, to
demonstrate commitment to easing the pressure on the host countries and work
towards sustainable solutions,
Expressing alarm at the rapidly increasing use of anti‑personnel landmines and
unexploded ordnance and their disproportionate impact on children, and also
expressing alarm over reports of the criminalization of amputees, as well as the
systematic denial of access by victims and survivors to life-saving aid, including
medical care and prosthetics, recognizing that these actions are contrary to
international law, including article 11 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities, 31
Underlining the urgent need to prevent the laying of additional landmines and
to promote the marking and mapping of newly mined areas, mine clearance, the
clearance of explosive remnants of war and mine-risk education programmes for
civilians, and to prioritize victim assistance and stockpile destruction, including prior
to any movement by internally displaced persons back to contaminated areas,
Deeply alarmed by the large-scale and recurrent nature of grave violations
against children in Myanmar, including Rohingya children and children belonging to
other minorities, and urging all parties to the conflict, in particular the Myanmar
military, to immediately end and prevent all violations and abuses against children,
including the six grave violations against children during armed conflict,
