in particular in Rakhine, Chin, Kachin, Shan, Kayah and Kayin States, and calls upon
Myanmar to ensure full respect for international humanitarian law and to allow the full,
safe and unhindered access of humanitarian personnel to all areas in Myanmar, and to
provide humanitarian assistance, including age- and gender-responsive assistance, as well
as the delivery of supplies and equipment, in order to allow such personnel to perform
efficiently their tasks of assisting the affected civilian populations, including internally
displaced persons, and encourages it to grant access to the diplomatic corps, independent
observers and representatives of the national and international independent media, without
fear of reprisals;
32.
Expresses concern at the continued irregular maritime movement of Rohingya
Muslims, who risk their lives in perilous conditions at the hands of exploitative smugglers
and human traffickers, which highlights their desperate situation and the urgent need to
address the root causes of their plight, and calls upon the international community to
effectively address such irregular maritime movements of Rohingya Muslims, in
cooperation with the relevant United Nations agencies, and to ensure international burdenand responsibility-sharing, especially by the States parties to the 1951 Convention relating
to the Status of Refugees;

Calls upon Myanmar to effectively address the root causes of human rights
violations and abuses against ethnic minorities, including the Rohingya, in Rakhine State

return of all refugees, including Rohingya Muslim refugees, particularly in view of the fact
that to date not a single Rohingya has returned through a bilaterally set-up mechanism for
repatriation between Bangladesh and Myanmar owing to the failure of Myanmar to create
such conditions in Rakhine State;
34.
Encourages the international community, in the true spirit of interdependence
and equal burden- and responsibility-sharing, to continue to assist Bangladesh in the
provision of humanitarian assistance to forcibly displaced Rohingya Muslims and other

track progress in the situation of human rights in Myanmar, including of Rohingya Muslims

work of the Independent Mechanism for Myanmar and the reports of the Special
Rapporteur, and to present an oral update to the Human Rights Council at its fifty-fifth

necessary to find durable solutions to the Rohingya crisis and to end all forms of human
rights violations and abuses against Rohingya Muslims and other minorities in Myanmar,
