Description:
"1. We, the Committee Representing Py idaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH), welcome the
remarks of US Secretary o f State Antony Blinken made at the Holocaust
Memorial Museum on 21st March. We welcome the determination of the US
government about the crimes committed by the Myanmar’s army on Rohingya
over the past decades as genocide and crimes against humanity based on
evidences, witnesses and reports of independent international human rights
organizations.
2. We believe such determination would be of much assistance for the attempts
o f international judicial institution including International Court of Justice -
ICJ and International Criminal Court - ICC in seeking justice and
accountability for the Rohingya people.
3. At present, Myanmar’s brutal military is continuing violence, brutal crimes
including war crimes and human rights violations against all ethnic
nationalities and ethnic and religious minorities at every corner o f the country
and thousands o f displaced people have fled from their home to quite secure
places. The junta’s security forces have unlawfully killed more than 1,690 and
has illegally arrested more than 12,850 citizens since the coup in Myanmar.
4. We would like to highlight the fact that today’s violations by the military is the
same with the military has committed such heinous crimes against Rohingya
in recent years. We seriously request the international community to help us
prevent such crimes from being committed continuously by the military at the
same time when we arc seeking the justice and accountability for the victims
o f the inhumane crimes.
5. The unprovoked aggression of the Russian Federation to the Ukraine proves
that regional an d international stability has been severely damaged due to the
dangerous acts of the authoritarian regime across the globe. We strongly
request the international community to continue the efforts of taking actions
regarding the crimes committed by the Myanmar military junta like a foreign
occupier against its own people in the same way and manner the international
community has been protesting against the actions of aggressors on Ukraine
and its people..."
