A/HRC/32/18 sustainable foundations for the rule of law, based on full and equal respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities and to consolidate the democratic transformation of Myanmar. 70. The Government should also take comprehensive legal and policy measures that address the root causes of all human rights violations and abuses, and prevent their recurrence. Victim and community perspectives should be central to such a process, including through broad and inclusive consultations and participation throughout the design and implementation of any measures aimed at addressing the past. 71. Progress should also be made in reforming the legal framework, including the Constitution of 2008 and the Citizenship Law of 1982, so that it is fully consistent with the State’s international human rights obligations. The report of the Special Rapporteur submitted to the Human Rights Council at its thirty-first session (A/HRC/31/71) is a useful tool in this regard. The establishment of mechanisms to ensure that any new legislation is fully compliant with the State’s international human rights obligations is also of critical importance. 72. With strengthened independence and an enhanced protection mandate, the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission could play a critical role in upholding and protecting the human rights of all people in Myanmar. Its powers to inquire into violations committed by law enforcement officials, to demand accountability from the Government, to denounce discrimination and incitement to hatred or violence and to visit places of detention could be utilized to strengthen protection of minorities. 73. While some of the measures necessary to address concerns raised in the present report should be taken promptly, the High Commissioner acknowledges that others will require a staged, longer-term approach in the context of the political transition. 74. OHCHR stands ready to provide the Government with support in its efforts to protect and promote the human rights of all people in Myanmar, and to strengthen effective rule of law. The focus on discrimination that underpins the Sustainable Development Goals provides an important framework to ensure that no minority is left behind in the State’s accelerated development. The collective and collaborative effort of the United Nations in the country will also be crucial to addressing critical human rights issues. VI. Recommendations A. Policies and practices 75. The High Commissioner recommends that the relevant authorities in Myanmar: (a) Abolish all discriminatory local orders in Rakhine State, including those restricting movement and the rights to marriage and family life; immediately remove arbitrary requirements for travel; facilitate movement within and between townships; and promptly and clearly communicate these decisions to all relevant authorities; (b) Establish a road map and a time frame for lifting all restrictions on freedom of movement in Rakhine State, and where security considerations remain, ensure that restrictions are necessary, proportional and not discriminatory; 16
