Re: It is the time for UN intervention to stop Rohingya ethnic cleansing
Dear Mr. Secretary-General,
We are writing to urge the United Nations (UN) to demonstrate its
leadership in human rights by responding to victims of Burma’s ongoing
ethnic cleansing on Rohingya.
According to UN charter VII article 41 to 48, UN must intervene if the
state fails its responsibility to protect its Populations from genocide,
war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.
It has been very clear that Burmese quasi civilian government has failed
its obligation to protect Rohingya population from ethnic cleansing and
genocide while sponsoring such acts to be carried out by Rakhine
extremist and its security forces.
Burmese President U Thein Sein mistakenly exposed their master plan of
ethnic cleansing to visiting UNHCR chief Antonio Guterres at July
11,2012 by asking Rohingya to be put in the camp while waiting to
transfer to third countries. As the evident has proven that Burmese
government has dehumanized Rohingya as illegal immigrant of Bangladesh
so that every injustice committed to Rohingya will be justified.
Second, Thousands of people had been killed were unaccounted for;
thousands were wounded, handicapped, had disappeared or died of
starvation, cold and disease; thousands had been forced to abandon their
homes and their land, often losing families and friends.
Third, In pursuing of the goal of ethnic cleansing, which was the direct
cause of the vast majority of gross human rights violations, various
atrocities and the infliction of terror among the Rohingya population,
Burmese authorities of various departments and Rakhine extremists
violated international legislative standards of human behavior by
actively involving in killing and raping of woman Rohingya Muslim woman.
.Numerous cities, various places of worship and cultural monuments had
been destroyed. So had homes, shops and places of business.
Fourth, Rohingya residential areas are systematically siege for six
months and the people are not allowed to go out and make the whole
residential area to be virtual prison. As a result, 1.5 million Rohingya
are unable to work or do business. The people are dying every day due
to lack of food, medical supply, basic essentials, physiological and
emotional distress.
Fifth, everyone know the live of the people in Refugee camps and Burmese
government has no plan to allowed them to return their villages to
rebuild them. Often the aid is block by extremist and government
security forces cooperating with extremist.
Six, thousands of people who can give money to human traffickers are
fleeing every day with uncertainty of destination. Some of them are
killed by traffickers, some of them commit suicide in the sea, and some
of them are drown in sea, some of them are sold as a slave.
Unfortunately, UN has failed to understand the systematic plan of ethnic
cleansing by Burmese regime and its ally of Rakhine extremists. UN is
focusing more on Humanitarian crisis as it is designed by systematic
plan.
We Rohingya community is sadden for UN failure to intervene to stop
ethnic cleaning according to UN charter VII article 41 to 48.We strongly
demand UN to fulfill its obligation by initiating R2P “Responsibility
to Protect with the followings”
· Send its peace keeping mission immediately.
· Any acts of Rohingya dehumanization activities by Burmese regime must be declare as illegal.
· Stop the siege and restore fundamental right of Rohingya with force if necessary.
· Stop building camps and rebuild towns and villages on the destroyed land with force if necessary.
· To make sure Burmese regime will honor very fundamental right
of citizenship of Rohingya or the Rohingya land must be administered by
UN.
· Prosecute the mastermind of ethnic cleansing to the international court of justice as it is stipulated by UN charter.
· UN must implement the above demand timely without delay or the Whole Rohingya population will be extinct.
Yours sincerely,
