A/RES/80/221 Situation of human rights of Rohingya Muslims and other minorities in Myanmar Reiterating its deep distress at reports that unarmed civilians in Rakhine State have been subjected to the excessive use of force and to violations and abuses of human rights and violations of international humanitarian law by the Myanmar military, including those involving extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary killings, systematic rape and other forms of sexual and gender-based violence, arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance and government seizure of Rohingya lands from which Rohingya Muslims were evicted and their homes destroyed, and remaining concerned by the previous large-scale destruction of homes and systematic evictions in northern Rakhine State, including the use of arson and violence, as well as the unlawful use of force by non‑State actors, Expressing concern that, in northern Rakhine State, the implementation of policies under the guise of economic development and reconstruction by the Myanmar military and the heavy militarization of the area have resulted in the alteration of the demographic structure, which further prevents the members of the displaced Rohingya Muslim population from returning to their places of origin or a place of their choice in Rakhine State, Reiterating its grave concern that, in spite of the fact that the Rohingya minority has lived in Myanmar for generations prior to the independence of Myanmar, held full documentation and participated actively in government and civic life, they were made stateless by the enactment of the 1982 Citizenship Law and were eventually disenfranchised, from 2015, from the electoral process, Reaffirming that the denial of citizenship status and related rights to Rohingya Muslims and other minorities, including voting rights, is a serious human rights concern, Re-emphasizing the right of all refugees and the importance of internally displaced persons to be able to return home and that such returns should be in safety and dignity and in a voluntary and sustainable manner, and reminding the international community of its collective responsibility towards the forcibly displaced persons, including Rohingya Muslims and other minorities, in the region, Expressing concern at the irregular maritime movement of Rohingya Muslims, risking their lives in perilous conditions at the hands of exploitative traffickers and smugglers, which highlights their desperate situation and the urgent need to address the root causes of their vulnerability, Alarmed by the continued fleeing of refugees from Myanmar to Bangladesh over the last four decades, with 32,000 newborn children adding to the population every year in the camps in Bangladesh, leading to the presence of around 1.3 million Rohingya Muslims in Bangladesh, the majority of whom have arrived since 25 August 2017 in the aftermath of atrocities committed by the Myanmar military, with a new influx to Bangladesh as a result of the intensification of armed conflict in northern Rakhine State, Recognizing that many member States of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation continue to host a large number of Rohingya Muslim refugees who fled the crisis, Alarmed at the deaths and injuries of several persons, including citizens in the territory of Bangladesh, when mortar shells and bullets exchanged between the Myanmar military and other armed actors landed and exploded in the territory of Bangladesh, and expressing deep concern at the recent incidents of shots fired targeting vessels in the territory of Bangladesh, and also about the ongoing armed conflict between the Myanmar military and other armed actors undermining the safety and security of people and property in bordering Bangladesh, 10/21 25-20983
