Today\u2019s presentation will\nbe based on my visit and the End of Mission Statement presented on 25 January\n2019 in Dhaka, Bangladesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is quite unfortunate that\nthe human rights situation in Myanmar continues to deteriorate and how many\nparts of the repressive architecture that existed under successive military\ngovernments remain. Instead of bringing about the democratic reforms that were\npromised, the civilian government is consolidating what military governments\nworked towards for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, I will address the\noverall situation relating to democratic space; human rights abuses and\nviolations in the ethnic states, and the situation of Rakhine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Democratic space, including\nthe freedoms of speech and association, is ever fragile. Communities across the\ncountry remain divided along religious and ethnic lines, and members of\nminorities face marginalization and discrimination. Ethnic nationalities around\nthe country continue to be subject to domination by the central government and\nthe military, despite the official stance that they are working towards peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is evident that under the\n2008 Constitution, Myanmar cannot be called a democracy, and until the\nconstitution is reformed, the transition to democracy will not be achieved. I\nam greatly concerned that the enduring repressive environment is discouraging\npeople from speaking out freely about human rights violations and injustices. Journalists\nand human rights defenders continue to be targeted for exercising their right\nto freedom of expression: Zau Jat, Nang Pu and Lum Zawng, the Kachin peace\nactivists, and Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, the two Reuters journalists, languish\nin jail for their work. Journalist Swe Win has been subjected to judicial\nharassment for his criticism of the Buddhist extremist group, Ma Ba Tha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During 2018, there was\nrecurrence of fighting in Kayin State despite the Karen National Liberation\nArmy being a signatory to the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement. This trend has\ncontinued into this year, with several clashes already taking place in Mutraw\nDistrict in close proximity to civilians, who see troops moving through their\nvillages and forests, and hear gunfire nearby. I have been told that the\nmilitary is constructing new bases in Kayah State, and am concerned that\nfighting may soon break out there too. There are around 162,000 IDPs in the\nSoutheast States and Regions, living in camps or scattered throughout rural\ncommunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A unilateral ceasefire of 4\nmonths in Kachin and Shan was announced by the Tatmadaw in December. However,\nfighting between ethnic armed organizations in Shan have occurred since this\nannouncement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government plans to\nclose IDP camps in Kachin, Shan, and Rakhine states, with the possibility of relocating\npeople to remote areas, far from their places of origin and removed from\neconomic opportunities and humanitarian support. The government has failed to\nconsult the IDPs and national and international organizations who are working\nwith the displaced populations. Returns to the IDPs\u2019 places of origin are\nneeded but such plans must be in accord with the international standards of\nsafety, voluntariness, dignity and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recent amendments to the\n2012 Vacant, Fallow and Virgin Lands Management Law are&nbsp; worrying. This law will also permit the\ngovernment to appropriate land from people who live there on the basis of\ncustomary practices. This is commonplace in ethnic areas, including Rakhine,\nKachin, Shan and Kayin State where communities have depended on this land for\ntheir livelihoods, traditions and culture for generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vast areas of land have\nalready been seized from people to make way for hydro-power dams and I have\nspoken with many who fear losing their lands and livelihoods should planned\ndams such as Myitsone, Upper Kengtawn, Upper Yeywa and Hatgyi go ahead. There\nis no transparency surrounding these plans and the government has failed to\nconsult those affected, causing further concern and uncertainty for millions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Rakhine State, recent\nclashes between the Tatmadaw and the Arakan Army reportedly resulted in the\ndeaths of members of security forces and civilians, and which has displaced\nsome 6,000 civilians. The order by the State Government to refuse access to\nhumanitarian organisations with the exception of the ICRC and WFP is entirely\nunacceptable and a violation of Myanmar\u2019s international humanitarian law\nobligation to allow humanitarian aid. Government rhetoric characterizing the\nRakhine community as sympathisers, collaborators and associates of the AA\nthreatens only to increase tensions in the region and divisions between ethnic communities.\nSimilarly, comments by the government linking AA with ARSA are deeply\nirresponsible, and point to the disturbing prospect of further attacks on the\nRohingya population that remain in Rakhine State<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During my visit, I received\nvideos of houses burning in Maungdaw township, the second such incident to\noccur in Maungdaw in 2019 alone. According to information gathered by my team,\nthe houses were burned by Myanmar security forces working in concert with\nRakhine extremists. The campaign of violence against the Rohingya continues,\nwith the security forces slowly bleeding the remaining Rohingya population and\ncontinuing to force them to flee to Bangladesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday, 26 Jan, a\nmilitary raided an entire vollage and looted gold, jewelry from the villagers\nof Tha Mee Hla village in Rathedaung Township in northern Rakhine State.\nApparently, only 10 homes in the village were spared of bullets out of a total\n84 homes. A seven-year old child had been wounded by an artillery explosion\nnear his home and has been transferred to&nbsp;\nto Yangon for treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple more developments\nthat warrant mentioning are the repatriation of Rohingyas from other countries.\nThe Rohingya issue has definitely gone beyond the borders of Rakhine, into the\nregion, and globally. Recent developments highlight the internationalization of\nthe Rohingya issue. Saudi Arabia recently deported 13 Rohingya to Bangladesh,\nwhere they have been arrested and charged with forging the passports that they\nused to travel to Saudi. Bangladesh authorities must remember that this group\nalso fled persecution in Myanmar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another development is that Rohingya\nare now arriving in Bangladesh from India, following the deportation of two\ngroups of Rohingya by the Indian authorities to Myanmar. 1,300 people are\nreported to have already arrived in Bangladesh from India stating that they\nfled due to fears of refoulement and heightened anti-Rohingya rhetoric from the\nIndian authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The causes of the current\nRohingya situation lie in Myanmar and it is Myanmar that need to find the\nsolution. Its campaign of violence against ethnic minorities, including the\nRohingya, the Kayin, the Kachin and the Shan, must end. There must be\naccountability for the campaign of ethnic cleansing and possible genocide\nagainst the Rohingya, as well as the war crimes against humanity perpetrated\nagainst ethnic minorities around the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ladies and Gentlemen, It is a great honor to present at this first ever International Conference on Protection and Accountability in Burma.
