New Report: The Rohingya Genocide – Starvation and Forced Labour as Tools of Erasure

The report comes just days after a new UN hunger hotspots assessment warned that Buthidaung Township in northern Rakhine State is at imminent risk of ‘IPC Phase 5 Catastrophe/Famine’ – the same classification currently applied in parts of Gaza. A military-imposed trade and aid blockade- combined with severe restrictions by the Arakan Army- is preventing life-saving humanitarian assistance from reaching Rohingya communities.

“The Rohingya Genocide: Starvation and Forced Labour as Tools of Erasure”

Drawing on first-hand documentation from Rakhine State, gathered despite severe access and communication restrictions imposed by both the Burmese military and the Arakan Army, the report exposes how starvation and forced labour are being used as tools of erasure against the Rohingya. With the Arakan Army now controlling large parts of Rakhine State, Rohingya are facing two oppressors instead of one.

UN High-Level Conference on Rohingya: Calls for Action Must Now Be Matched by Political Will

The long-awaited United Nations High-Level Conference on the Situation of the Rohingya and Other Minorities in Myanmar, held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, was convened to refocus global attention on the ongoing crisis and to seek concrete, time-bound steps toward justice, protection, and lasting solutions.

The meeting reaffirmed the world’s concern but fell short of delivering the decisive action the situation demands. As Wai Wai Nu, founder of the Women’s Peace Network, reminded delegates in one of the conference’s most powerful interventions:

“You already have the evidence. You already have the power. What is missing is the political will. The people of Myanmar demand accountability and an end to impunity.”

Her words echoed the central message of the day: while awareness of the crisis is high, political will remains painfully absent.

New York Declaration on Rohingya Rights and Protection

In observation of the UN General Assembly “High-Level Conference on the Situation of the Rohingya Muslims and Other Minorities in Myanmar”

Today, on this historic occasion, we, the Rohingya people, stand before the world with one voice.

For decades, we have endured genocide, apartheid, and life in exile. Our homeland, Arakan, has been burned, looted, and emptied of its people. Our mothers and daughters have borne unspeakable violations. Our youth have grown up in refugee camps without any hope or future.

Yet, despite every attempt to destroy us, we remain unbroken.
