UN rights chief calls for ‘reality check’ on Burma as BROUK warns Rohingya face erasure

The Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK (BROUK) today warned that Rohingya are being driven towards erasure from their homeland, as a new UN report documented continuing persecution by both the Burmese military and the Arakan Army.

BROUK President Tun Khin addressed the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva as part of an Enhanced Interactive Dialogue on the report by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk.

Tun Khin said there is no lack of evidence, international law or recommendations.

“What has been missing is action by Member States.”

Rohingya being erased from their homeland

The report documents widespread abuses against Rohingya by both the Burmese military and the Arakan Army, including arbitrary arrests, torture, sexual violence, forced labour and forced recruitment. Restrictions on movement, food and livelihoods are compounding the persecution and making it increasingly difficult for Rohingya to survive in their homeland.

Sexual Violence Against Rohingya Women and Girls: Emerging patterns of abuse in Arakan Army-controlled areas of Rakhine State

Sexual violence against Rohingya women and girls, a hallmark of the genocide committed by the Burmese military, is continuing in areas of northern Rakhine State under Arakan Army (AA) control.

In this new report, the Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK (BROUK) documents how sexual violence against Rohingya women and girls is becoming increasingly embedded within systems of detention, forced recruitment and coercion under AA control.

Drawing on information collected from Rohingya sources between May 2024 and April 2026, the report documents patterns of gang rape, arbitrary detention, threats of sexual violence and abuse linked to recruitment raids and incommunicado detention. Documentation is concentrated in northern Rakhine State, particularly Maungdaw and Buthidaung.

The report warns that sexual violence against Rohingya women and girls is evolving from violence occurring primarily during conflict and displacement to increasingly organised forms of coercion linked to detention, forced recruitment and systems of governance under AA control.

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.
