BROUK President Tun Khin Speaks at UN Side Event on Rohingya Protection and Justice
BROUK President Tun Khin joined global human rights leaders at a high-level side event on the Rohingya crisis, organised by the Women’s Peace Network during the UN General Assembly week in New York.
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.
On 25 September, representatives from the Rohingya community, human rights advocates and policymakers gathered at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) in Washington D.C. to mark the closing of the exhibition ‘Burma’s Path to Genocide.’
As well as outlining the catastrophic situation in Rakhine and highlighting the failure of the international community to provide adequate aid and protection, he called on states to uphold the international arrest warrants issued by the Argentinian court in BROUK’s universal jurisdiction case.
We—206 Myanmar, regional, and international civil society organizations—call on the Member States of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to adopt a resolution that categorically rejects the Myanmar military junta’s sham election and explicitly supports the Myanmar people’s ongoing efforts to establish bottom-up federal democracy.
The Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK (BROUK) today formally petitioned the Federal Court in Buenos Aires to expand its universal jurisdiction case on the Rohingya genocide to also include atrocity crimes by the Arakan Army (AA). In doing so, it hopes to seek arrest warrants for Commander-in-Chief Major General Twan Mrat Naing, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Brigadier General Nyo Twan Awng, and others in the chain of command.
From 24–26 August, BROUK President Tun Khinparticipated in the Stakeholders’ Dialogue: Takeaway to the High-Level Conference on the Rohingya Situation, hosted by the Government of Bangladesh in Dhaka and Cox’s Bazar.
