In April 2018, the UN was granted permission to visit Myanmar and after an investigation, the organization believes that Myanmar's commanders and five generals should be brought to justice after performing mass murders and rapes on Rohingya Muslims, with genocide committed.

The Muslim population Rohingya, who have lived in the state of Rakhine in western Myanmar for generations, began to be persecuted again in August 2017. During the past year, about 700,000 Rohingya have moved away from their homes and most are now in refugee camps in Bangladesh, according to news agency Reuters.

Strongest statement

The statement is the UN's strongest so far when it comes to Myanmar. According to UN investigators' report, Myanmar's leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has allowed hate crimes to flourish, destroyed documents and failed to protect minorities from crimes against humanity committed by the army in the states of Rakhine, Kachin and Shan, reports TT.

In recent days, Rohingyer have made major protests in their refugee camps because it was a year since they were expelled from Myanmar. They are asking to return to their home country and justice should be shipped after the terror they have been exposed to.

The UN Children's Fund Unicef ​​has previously warned that the future is threatened by more than 380,000 Rohingya refugee children without access to regular schooling, which risks leaving deep traces for an entire generation.
