Also calls upon Myanmar to rapidly implement the five-point consensus
reached at the Leaders’ Meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations held on 24
April 2021 to facilitate a peaceful solution through inclusive dialogue and the immediate
cessation of violence in the interests of the people of Myanmar and their livelihoods,
including of Rohingya Muslims and other ethnic minorities, and to that end calls upon all
stakeholders in Myanmar to cooperate with the Association and the special envoy of the Chair
of the Association, and expresses its support for these efforts;
21.
Encourages the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General on Myanmar to
continue her engagement towards dialogue with Myanmar and all other relevant
stakeholders, including civil society, and affected populations, such as Rohingya Muslims
and other minorities in Myanmar, aiming at the early resolution of the crisis in Myanmar;
22.
Encourages Myanmar to review and repeal the amendments made in 2018 to
the Vacant, Fallow and Virgin Lands Management Law, and to establish an inclusive land
governance framework and to resolve issues of land tenure, in full consultation with affected
populations, including ethnic and religious minority communities, in particular Rohingya
Muslims;
23.
Urges Myanmar to take all measures necessary to reverse and abandon
policies, directives and practices that marginalize Rohingya Muslims and other minorities, to
prevent the destruction of places of worship, cemeteries, infrastructure and commercial or
residential buildings belonging to all people, to ensure that all displaced persons, including
Rohingya Muslims and persons belonging to other minorities, in Rakhine State and
throughout Myanmar, including the 128,000 Rohingya and Kaman Muslims who have been
confined in camps in central Rakhine since 2012, can return to their homes and properties
with freedom of movement and unimpeded access to livelihoods and essential services, to
review relevant laws, and to address the root causes of their vulnerable situations and forced
displacement;
24.
Calls upon Myanmar to dismantle the camps for internally displaced persons
in Rakhine State with a clear timeline, ensuring that the return or relocation of internally
displaced persons is carried out in accordance with international standards and best practices,
including those set forth in the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, in cooperation
with the United Nations and the international community;
25.
Also calls upon Myanmar, in line with the bilateral instruments on repatriation
signed by Bangladesh and Myanmar, to take concrete steps towards the creation of a
conducive environment for the voluntary safe, dignified and sustainable return of the forcibly
displaced Rohingya Muslims and other minorities of Myanmar temporarily sheltering in
Bangladesh, and to disseminate authentic information, in partnership with the United Nations
and other relevant actors, on the conditions in Rakhine State in order to reasonably address
the core concerns of Rohingya Muslims;
26.
Further calls upon Myanmar to build trust among Rohingya Muslims in camps
in Bangladesh for their return to Myanmar through confidence-building measures, including
direct communication between Rohingya representatives and Myanmar authorities and by
arranging “go and see” visits to Rakhine State by Rohingya representatives, and thereby
encourage them to return to their places of origin in Myanmar;
27.
Urges Myanmar to immediately commence the voluntary, safe, dignified and
sustainable return and reintegration of all forcibly displaced Rohingya Muslims and other
minorities from Bangladesh to Myanmar, including by extending full cooperation to the
Government of Bangladesh and the United Nations, in particular the Office of the United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and, as applicable, the Coordinating Centre for
