At the United Nations, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres is urging serious consideration of a new U.N. report that called for Burma’s military commander-in-chief and other generals be tried for genocide for their targeting of Rohingya Muslims.

Secretary-General António Guterres: “Accountability is essential for genuine reconciliation between all ethnic groups, and these are prerequisites for regional security and stability. Regrettably, Myanmar has refused to cooperate with United Nations human rights entities and mechanisms, despite repeated calls to do so, including by members of this council.”

Meanwhile, displaced Rohingya have welcomed the U.N. report, saying that Burmese officials must be held accountable.

Mohammad Ayub: “The military committed most of the tortures, and there were also border guards and police. Actually, all the government forces committed all sorts of torture on us. They raped our women, killed people with bullets, threw and killed small children, burned our houses. And now there is no place to stay. We have nothing there. So we demand to the U.N. that they give us justice. We need our citizenship back.”
