"1.The present report is submitted pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution 42/3, in which the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights was requested to follow up on the implementation by the Government of Myanmar of the recommendations
made by the independent international fact-finding mission, including those on accountability, and to continue to track progress in relation to human rights in Myanmar, including of Rohingya Muslims and other minorities.
2. The report was prepared on the basis of primary and secondary information collected from various sources – including primary witness testimonies, the Government, the United Nations, civil society organizations, representatives of ethnic and religious
minority communities, diplomats, media professionals, academics and other experts. Without access to the country, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) adhered to a consistent methodology of gathering information via
remote interviews conducted with over 80 victims and witnesses of human rights violations and abuses. Primary sources were subjected to a rigorous verification and corroboration
process using a variety of independent or other sources, including, but not restricted to, satellite imagery and reports and statements by the Government. Factual determinations on cases, incidents and patterns were made where there were reasonable grounds to believe
that incidents had occurred as described. OHCHR sought input from the Government on the issues raised in the present report and a draft was shared with the Government for comment. No response has yet been received.
3. The mandate of the fact-finding mission1 expired in September 2019. The factfinding mission issued two mandated reports2 and four thematic papers.3 For the present report, OHCHR analysed 109 recommendations made by the fact-finding mission to the
Government and the United Nations in Myanmar, grouped thematically, including on conflict and the protection of civilians; accountability; sexual and gender-based violence;
fundamental freedoms; economic, social and cultural rights; institutional and legal reforms; and actions by the United Nations system..."

Mr. Filippo Grandi, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees;
Mr. Mark Lowcock, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator;
Mr. William Lacy Swing, Director General, International Organization for Migration...(16 October 2017, Geneva/New York): After violence broke out in Myanmar?s Rakhine state on 25 August, more than 500,000 Rohingya refugees crossed into neighbouring Bangladesh in less than five weeks. Tens of thousands of refugees have arrived since, fleeing discrimination, violence and persecution, as well as isolation and fear.
The speed and scale of the influx made it the world?s fastest growing refugee crisis and a major humanitarian emergency. The Government of Bangladesh, local charities and volunteers, the UN and NGOs are working in overdrive to provide assistance. But much more is urgently needed. The efforts must be scaled up and expanded to receive and protect refugees and ensure they are provided with basic shelter and acceptable living conditions. Every day more vulnerable people arrive with very little — if anything ? and settle either in overcrowded existing camps or extremely congested makeshift sites..."

"Region?s head of human rights calls on Aung San Suu Kyi to stop violence as report says ?clearance operations? include killings, torture and rape...Myanmar security forces have driven out half a million Muslim Rohingya from northern Rakhine state, torching their homes, crops and villages to prevent them from returning, the UN human rights office said on Wednesday.
Jyoti Sanghera, head of the Asia and Pacific region of the UN human rights office, called on the Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi to ?stop the violence” and voiced fear that if the stateless Rohingya refugees return from Bangladesh they may be interned.
?If villages have been completely destroyed and livelihood possibilities have been destroyed, what we fear is that they may be incarcerated or detained in camps,” she told a news briefing.

The UN political affairs chief, Jeffrey Feltman, is due to visit Myanmar on Friday, said UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric.
In a report based on 65 interviews with Rohingya who have arrived in Bangladesh in the past month, the UN human rights office said that ?clearance operations” had begun before insurgent attacks on police posts on 25 August and included killings, torture and rape of children.

"...Credible information indicates that the Myanmar security forces purposely destroyed the
property of the Rohingyas, scorched their dwellings and entire villages in northern Rakhine
State, not only to drive the population out in droves but also to prevent the fleeing Rohingya
victims from returning to their homes. The destruction by the Tatmadaw of houses, fields,
food-stocks, crops, livestock and even trees, render the possibility of the Rohingya returning
to normal lives and livelihoods in the future in northern Rakhine almost impossible. It also
indicates an effort to effectively erase all signs of memorable landmarks in the geography of
the Rohingya landscape and memory in such a way that a return to their lands would yield
nothing but a desolate and unrecognizable terrain. Information received also indicates that the
Myanmar security forces targeted teachers, the cultural and religious leadership, and other
people of influence in the Rohingya community in an effort to diminish Rohingya history,
culture and knowledge..."

Description:
"As of 1 October 2017, more than 809,000 Rohingyas are estimated
to be sheltering in Bangladesh, having fled violence and persecution
in Myanmar. Violence which began on 25 August has triggered a
massive and swift refugee influx across the border - an estimated
509,000 people have arrived in the space of a month. These refugees
have joined some 300,000 people who were already in Bangladesh
following earlier waves of displacement. The Rohingya population
in Cox?s Bazar is highly vulnerable, many having experienced severe
trauma, and are now living in extremely difficult conditions.
The existing refugees, along with the unprecedented volume of new
arrivals, have put immense strain on infrastructure, services and
the host population, overwhelming existing response capacity. Most
who have arrived came with very few possessions. They are now
reliant on humanitarian assistance for food, and other life-saving
needs. Population movements remain highly fluid, with people
settling into pre-existing makeshift or spontaneous sites before
infrastructure and services have been established. Many sites are
now alarmingly overcrowded, exacerbating risks to people?s security,
safety and wellbeing. In these highly congested conditions there is an
increasingly high risk of an outbreak of disease.
Many of the new arrivals are visibly traumatized and disoriented,
suffering from the consequences of extreme violence, from the
loss of or separation from family members, and from the ordeal of
displacement. Rape, human trafficking, and survival sex have been
reported among the existing perils for women and girls during
flight. Children?s well-being and mental and physical development is
affected by the incidents that led to their flight and there are growing
numbers of separated and unaccompanied children being reported.
Most newly arrived children have not been able to access education
since they arrived. Protection interventions and up-scaled outreach
and referrals are needed to ensure that protection responses and
services reach those most in need.
The Government of Bangladesh has triggered a wide response across
Ministries, agencies, and the Military, and on 14 September allocated
2,000 acres of land for the establishment of a new camp. Local
communities have been at the frontline of the response, providing
food and basic items for new arrivals. National and international
humanitarian agencies have rapidly responded in support of
Government efforts.
However, the scale of needs dramatically exceeds our current
capacity to deliver. A rapid scale-up and comprehensive
humanitarian response by all partners is critical at this stage.
The Rohingya Refugee Crisis Response Plan is focused on life-saving
and protection assistance for the most vulnerable people. The Plan
targets 1.2 million people, including all Rohingya refugees, and
300,000 Bangladeshi host communities over the next six months.
The plan prioritizes the provision of life-saving assistance, improving
the conditions and management of settlement areas, as well as
promoting protection, dignity and respect for the Rohingya refugees.
The plan also factors in a contingency for new arrivals that are
anticipated in the coming months, as the influx continues day to
day. Given the scale and the possibility of a rapid deterioration of
conditions, which could turn the crisis into a catastrophe, partners
remain committed to the principle that our plans must be grounded
in capacity. We urge more experienced partners with relevant
expertise to join the response, so that we are better able to cover
urgent needs and save lives..."

Highlights:
•
Cyclone Komen made landfall in Myanmar at the end of July 2015
causing extensive flooding to
agricultural land, which remained
submerged
in some areas until September. This caused severe
localized losses to the 2015 monsoon season crops, especially p
addy, in Chin, Rakhine,
Ayeyarwaddy, Yangon, Sagaing
and parts of Bago. However, once the water receded, a large portion
of the flooded areas with paddy was replanted. Overall, the amount of irreversible damage was
limited.
•
At 27.5 million tonnes, the
aggregate
national production
of paddy,
the country?s staple food, in
2015
(monsoon season 2015 and ongoing 2015 secondary season) would be 3 percent below the 2014
crop and 2 percent down
from
the average of the past
three
-
years.
•
At subnational level, however,
cereal
production and livelihood of farming households and
communities in remote areas, in particular Chin and Rakhine, which concentrate highly vulnerable
populations with little resilience and low agricultural productivity, did not recover fully as in other areas
affected by the flooding. These populations may face severe food shortages in the coming months
and require relief assistance.
•
Livestock and fisheries were affected by the flooding in localized areas with losses of cattle, buffalo,
sheep, goats, pigs and poultry, and damage to fish and shrimp farms, resulting in reduced animal
protein intake in the most affected areas.
•
The country is a net exporter of rice and the 2015 paddy production, similar to previous years,
will
exceed domestic requirements, but tighter
domestic
supplies in marketing year 2015/16
(October/September)
are expected to
further
underpin
already high rice prices, raising
concerns about
food access by most vulnerable sections of the population.
•
Prices of rice reached record levels in August and September
2015,
reflecting strong
depreciation
of
the
Kyat, increasing rice exports and
concerns about the damage to paddy crop. Domestic rice prices
declined with the harvest
between October and December 2015
but remained at
high levels.
In
February
2016,
rice
prices
averaged 37
percent higher than a
year earlier.
•
For the majority of farming households,
the main impact of the July flooding
was
related to the
increased costs for replanting and
the delayed harvest.
Households depending primarily upon day
labour, and especially non-skilled day labour, re
main among the most vulnerable. They faced a gap in
wages during August and have difficulties in obtaining credit.
•
The July flooding was perceived to have moderate impact on children?s nutritional status and little
impact on infant and young children feeding practices.
•
In view of the
country?s adequate rice availabilities
and
generally
well-functioning
domestic markets,
the Mission recommends that any
eventual
food assistance
needs
to
be
provided
in the form of cash
and/
or vouchers.
•
To cover immediate
agricultural needs following the 2015 flooding, the Mission recommends the
distribution of seeds for the next monsoon planting season;
as well as
water and pest-resistant
storage containers to protect farmer?s seeds, along with drying nets and post-harvest
equipment
in the
most affected areas. In
Rakhine, Sagaing
and Ayeyarwaddy, recording the highest livestock losses,
urgent
restocking
of livestock is required to avoid a
further
fall in animal protein intake; while the
rebuilding of fishing gear and boats
and the
rehabilitation of fish ponds is
also
needed
in the most
affected Rakhine State."
