Un To Probe "killings", "Rapes" Of Rohingya

The United Nations Human Rights Council, UNHRC agreed on Friday to investigate widespread allegations of rape, torture and possibly ethnic cleansing by security forces against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar’s Rakhine state. The Council adopted a resolution without a vote, brought by the E-U and supported by countries including the United States, that called for "ensuring full accountability for perpetrators and justice for victims". A U.N. report issued last month, based on interviews with 220 Rohingya among 75,000 who have fled to Bangladesh, said that Myanmar’s security forces have committed mass killings and gang rapes of Rohingya in a campaign that "very likely" amounts to crimes against humanity and possibly ethnic cleansing. The investigation will likely focus on events that unfolded since October last year, when Myanmar's army and other state security forces began what they called "clearance operations" in response to a deadly attack on border patrols by suspected Rohingya insurgents. Human rights monitors have voiced serious doubts that several investigative commissions set up by the Aung San Suu Kyi government and its security forces had the tools and independence needed for an impartial probe.  The Myanmar government has largely denied the allegations and claimed that the nation was being treated unfairly. The resolution is the most serious intervention to date into the crisis in the impoverished Rakhine state, where most of Myanmar's 1.1 million Rohingya live.
