He also emphasised that Bangladesh has reached its limits and repartition is the foremost effective approach to the ongoing crisis.

Yunus stated that, “Despite web hosting the Rohingyas with great empathy, a densely populated Bangladesh has been incurring most in the case of social-economic-environmental costs. These culminate in a series of traditional and non-traditional security risks for us. A collection of our own development gains are at stake. Clearly, Bangladesh has reached its limits. Therefore, as loads as Bangladesh engages in humanitarian aspects or guaranteeing justice, repartition of the Rohingyas remains the foremost effective sustainable approach to the protracted crisis.”

He also noted that in spite of a few international resolutions referred to as for conducive conditions for the safe return of the Rohingyas, Myanmar has not addressed the return of a single Rohingya to their fatherland.

“A few UN General Assembly, Human Rights Council and even Security Council Resolutions on Myanmar have asked for making a conducive environment for the dignified, safe and sustainable return of the Rohingyas.

“The overall scenario leaves the forcibly displaced Rohingyas, their hosts and the worldwide partners with lingering uncertainties while the major focal point and humanitarian strengthen for the Rohingyas dwindle.

Our law enforcement agencies and people, on the side of the international community, have thus some distance been ready to take care of peace and stability in the camps. So this crisis in Rakhine State merits careful revisit,” Yunus said.

“Creating an inclusive society in Myanmar is vital where all ethnic communities can are living in peace and harmony. All international, regional, and national actors, including the UN Security Council, ASEAN and other friends of Myanmar, should acknowledge and incorporate it in their approach. We might ask the UN Special Envoy to play a central role, in particular in coordinating the political efforts,” he to boot added.

Following this, Muhammad Yunus presented three key proposals to do something in regards to the location, where he referred to as for an all-stakeholders conference on the Rohingya crisis to study the location and suggest innovative solutions. He also stated that the Joint Response Plan, managed by the UN and Bangladesh, should be revived if you happen to want to do something in regards to the sliding funding situation for humanitarian aid. He to boot insisted that the Joint Response Plan, managed by the UN and Bangladesh, should be revived to do something in regards to the sliding funding situation for humanitarian aid. He referred to as for strengthen, justice and accountability mechanisms for “genocidal crimes” committed against the Rohingya community.
