Global support sought in pilot project of Rohingya repatriation

Staff Reporter:

Bangladesh has urged the United Nations, ASEAN and regional countries to support the pilot repatria-tion project and help Rohingya returnees reintegrate in Myanmar.
Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the United Nations in New York, Ambassador Muhammad Abdul Muhith, made the call while speaking at the Security Council‘s Arria-formula meeting on Myan-mar.
The meeting convened by the United Kingdom was held at the United Nations Headquarters on Friday.
Referring to the recent dialogue between Bangladesh and Myanmar, Ambassador Muhith informed the Security Council that the two sides have decided to undertake a pilot repatriation project under which a group of verified Myanmar nationals will return to their country of origin in the first batch.
The repatriation will continue and additional Rohingyas will be repatriated in successive batches.
He further informed that a group of 20 Rohingya visited Rakhine State on May 5, 2023 to see arrange-ments made in Myanmar for their return.
Citing the pilot project as an important step in the right direction, the Permanent Representative said that Bangladesh is taking all measures to ensure the voluntary return of the Rohingyas in family units. Am-bassador Muhith called upon the international community to remain vigilant so that the returnees under pilot project are not exposed to further persecution.
“The presence of humanitarian and development actors in the Rakhine will act as an important confi-dence building measure. We also urge the regional countries to support the returnees and help them rein-tegrate in Myanmar society,” he added.
The meeting held in the in-person format was attended by all Security Council members and a large number of member states from the ASEAN.
The Security Council members discussed the current humanitarian challenges in Myanmar including in the aftermath of Cyclone Mocha.
They also expressed support for the efforts of ASEAN in addressing the multifaceted challenges of My-anmar.
On the Rohingya issue, the majority of the members expressed support for the safe, voluntary, sustaina-ble and dignified return of the Rohingyas to their homeland in Myanmar, while calling upon Myanmar to improve the condition in Rakhine.
