The UN leadership in Myanmar tried to stop the Rohingya rights issue being raised with the government, sources in the UN and aid community told the BBC.

One former UN official said the head of the UN in Myanmar (Burma) tried to prevent human rights advocates from visiting sensitive Rohingya areas.

More than 500,000 Rohingya have fled an offensive by the military, with many now sheltering in camps in Bangladesh.
The UN in Myanmar "strongly disagreed" with the BBC findings.

In the month since Rohingya Muslims began flowing into Bangladesh, the UN has been at the forefront of the response. It has delivered aid and made robust statements condemning the Burmese authorities.

But sources within the UN and the aid community both in Myanmar and outside have told the BBC that, in the four years before the current crisis, the head of the United Nations Country Team (UNCT), a Canadian called Renata Lok-Dessallien:
  • tried to stop human rights activists travelling to Rohingya areas
  • attempted to shut down public advocacy on the subject
  • isolated staff who tried to warn that ethnic cleansing might be on the way.
One aid worker, Caroline Vandenabeele, had seen the warning signs before. She worked in Rwanda in the run-up to the genocide in late 1993 and early 1994 and says when she first arrived in Myanmar she noticed worrying similarities.

"I was with a group of expats and Burmese business people talking about Rakhine and Rohingya and one of the Burmese people just said 'we should kill them all as if they are just dogs'. For me, this level of dehumanisation of humans is one sign that you have reached a level of acceptance in society that this is normal."

For more than a year I have been corresponding with Ms Vandenabeele, who has served in conflict areas such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Rwanda and Nepal.

Between 2013 and 2015 she had a crucial job in the UNCT in Myanmar. She was head of office for what is known as the resident co-ordinator, the top UN official in the country, currently Ms Dessallien.

The job gave Ms Vandenabeele a front-row seat as the UN grappled with how to respond to rising tensions in Rakhine state.

Back in 2012, clashes between Rohingya Muslims and Rakhine Buddhists left more than 100 dead and more than 100,000 Rohingya Muslims in camps around the state capital, Sittwe.

Since then, there have been periodic flare-ups and, in the past year, the emergence of a Rohingya militant group. Attempts to deliver aid to the Rohingya have been complicated by Rakhine Buddhists who resent the supply of aid for the Rohingya, at times blocking it and even attacking aid vehicles.

It presented a complex emergency for the UN and aid agencies, who needed the co-operation of the government and the Buddhist community to get basic aid to the Rohingya.

At the same time they knew that speaking up about the human rights and statelessness of the Rohingya would upset many Buddhists.

So the decision was made to focus on a long-term strategy. The UN and the international community prioritised long-term development in Rakhine in the hope that eventually increased prosperity would lead to reduced tensions between the Rohingya and the Buddhists.

For UN staff it meant that publicly talking about the Rohingya became almost taboo. Many UN press releases about Rakhine avoided using the word completely. The Burmese government does not even use the word Rohingya or recognise them as a distinct group, preferring to call them "Bengalis".

During my years reporting from Myanmar, very few UN staff were willing to speak frankly on the record about the Rohingya. Now an investigation into the internal workings of the UN in Myanmar has revealed that even behind closed doors the Rohingyas' problems were put to one side.

Multiple sources in Myanmar's aid community have told the BBC that at high-level UN meetings in Myanmar any question of asking the Burmese authorities to respect the Rohingyas' human rights became almost impossible.
Who will help Myanmar's Rohingya?
Ms Vandenabeele said it soon became clear to everyone that raising the Rohingyas' problems, or warning of ethnic cleansing in senior UN meetings, was simply not acceptable.

"Well you could do it but it had consequences," she said. "And it had negative consequences, like you were no longer invited to meetings and your travel authorisations were not cleared. Other staff were taken off jobs - and being humiliated in meetings. An atmosphere was created that talking about these issues was simply not on."

Repeat offenders, like the head of the UN's Office for the Co-ordination for Humanitarian Assistance (UNOCHA) were deliberately excluded from discussions.

Ms Vandenabeele told me she was often instructed to find out when the UNOCHA representative was out of town so meetings could be held at those times. The head of UNOCHA declined to speak to the BBC but it has been confirmed by several other UN sources inside Myanmar.

Ms Vandenabeele said she was labelled a troublemaker and frozen out of her job for repeatedly warning about the possibility of Rohingya ethnic cleansing. This version of events has not been challenged by the UN.

Attempts to restrict those talking about the Rohingya extended to UN officials visiting Myanmar. Tomas Quintana is now the UN special rapporteur for human rights in North Korea but for six years, until 2014, held that same role for Myanmar.

Speaking from Argentina, he told me about being met at Yangon airport by Ms Dessallien.

"I received this advice from her - saying you should not go to northern Rakhine state - please don't go there. So I asked why and there was not an answer in any respect, there was just the stance of not trying to bring trouble with the authorities, basically," he said.

"This is just one story, but it demonstrates what was the strategy of the UN Country Team in regards to the issue of the Rohingya."

Mr Quintana still went to northern Rakhine but said Ms Dessallien "disassociated" herself from his mission and he didn't see her again.

One senior UN staffer told me: "We've been pandering to the Rakhine community at the expense of the Rohingya.

"The government knows how to use us and to manipulate us and they keep on doing it - we never learn. And we can never stand up to them because we can't upset the government."

The UN's priorities in Rakhine were examined in a report commissioned by the UN in 2015 entitled "Slippery Slope: Helping Victims or Supporting Systems of Abuse".

Leaked to the BBC, it is damning of the UNCT approach.

"The UNCT strategy with respect to human rights focuses too heavily on the over-simplified hope that development investment itself will reduce tensions, failing to take into account that investing in a discriminatory structure run by discriminatory state actors is more likely to reinforce discrimination than change it."

There have been other documents with similar conclusions. With António Guterres as the new secretary general in New York, a former senior member of the UN was asked to write a memo for his team in April.

Titled "Repositioning the UN" the two-page document was damning in its assessment, calling the UN in Myanmar "glaringly dysfunctional".

In the weeks that followed the memo, the UN confirmed that Ms Dessallien was being "rotated"but stressed it was nothing to do with her performance. Three months on Ms Dessallien is still the UN's top official there after the Burmese government rejected her proposed successor.

"She has a fair view and is not biased," Shwe Mann, a former senior general and close ally of Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi, told me. "Whoever is biased towards the Rohingyas, they won't like her and they will criticise her."

Ms Dessallien declined to give an interview to the BBC to respond to this article.

The UN in Myanmar said its approach was to be "fully inclusive" and ensure the participation of all relevant experts.

"We strongly disagree with the accusations that the resident co-ordinator 'prevented' internal discussions. The resident co-ordinator regularly convenes all UN agencies in Myanmar to discuss how to support peace and security, human rights, development and humanitarian assistance in Rakhine state," a statement from a UN spokesperson in Yangon said.

On Tomas Quintana's visits to Rakhine, the spokesperson said Ms Dessallien had "provided full support" in terms of personnel, logistics and security.

Ten ambassadors, including from Britain and the United States, wrote unsolicited emails to the BBC when they heard we were working on this report, expressing their support for Ms Dessallien.

There are those who see similarities between the UN's much-criticised role in Sri Lanka and what has happened in Myanmar. Charles Petrie wrote a damning report into the UN and Sri Lanka, and also served as the UN's top official in Myanmar (before being expelled in 2007).

He said the UN's response to the Rohingya over the past few years had been confused and that Ms Dessallien hadn't been given the mandate to bring all of the key areas together.

"I think the key lesson for Myanmar from Sri Lanka is the lack of a focal point. A senior level focal point addressing the situation in Myanmar in its totality - the political, the human rights, the humanitarian and the development. It remains diffuse. And that means over the last few years there have been almost competing agendas."

So might a different approach from the UN and the international community have averted the humanitarian disaster we are seeing now? It's hard to see how it might have deterred the Burmese army's massive response following the 25 August Rohingya militant attack.

Ms Vandenabeele said she at least believed an early warning system she proposed might have provided some indications of what was about to unfold.

"It's hard to say which action would have been able to prevent this," she told me. "But what I know for sure is that the way it was done was never going to prevent it. The way it was done was simply ignoring the issue."

Mr Quintana said he wished the international community had pushed harder for some sort of transitional justice system as part of the move to a hybrid democratic government.

One source said the UN now appeared to be preparing itself for an inquiry into its response to Rakhine, and this could be similar to the inquiry that came after the controversial end to Sri Lanka's civil war - and which found it wanting.

Deep division, no action
Most members, including US, UK, France, strongly condemn Rohingya persecution at UNSC; meeting ends without resolution as China, Russia back Myanmar

China and Russia has once again prevented the UN Security Council from making any decision on Myanmar to protect Rohingyas from atrocities, just three years after demonstrating a strong anti-genocide stance.

In 2014, when the UNSC held a discussion on occasion of the 20th commemoration of Rwanda genocide, Beijing and Moscow joined other members of the council to air their concerns against genocide.

With their support the council unanimously passed a strongly-worded resolution, renewing its commitment to fight against genocide.

But three years down the line, China and Russia at the Security Council meeting on Thursday vehemently opposed any action against Myanmar. This exposed a deep division within the the UN's most powerful body, with the US, the UK and France demanding an end to "ethnic cleansing" of Rohingya, a Muslim minority in the Buddhist-majority Myanmar.

Empowered to take collective action to prevent and halt atrocity crimes, the UN is unable to take any action until an end to the deadlock in the UNSC.

The Security Council can resort to imposing sanctions or even authorise the use of force to maintain or restore international peace and security. But for this it needs to unanimously pass a resolution with no negative vote by any of its permanent members.

The UNSC's three other permanent members -- the US, the UK and France enjoying the veto power along with China and Russia in the council l-- may need to find alternative ways to put pressure on Myanmar to resolve the Rohingya crisis, according to political analysts.

What China and Russia said at Thursday's meeting sends a clear indication that they did not move an inch from their previous stance on Myanmar and is likely to stick to their guns in the Rohingya issue in the coming days.

Eleven years ago, they cast a double veto to the UNSC's first draft resolution on Myanmar which called on the then military junta to stop persecution of minority and opposition groups. Their negative votes killed the measure at the UNSC.

It was a rare veto. According to a Reuters report on January 21, 2007, China and Russia had not cast a double veto since 1972. Through this move, they made the point the US needed to listen to their complaints carefully.

In defence, they argued that human rights violations were not the purview of the Security Council unless they endangered regional or international peace and security, which Myanmar did not.

Since then China and Russia have jointly been siding with Myanmar for their economic interests.

They again joined together in double veto in November 2009 to kill measures in the UNSC. The draft resolution would have urged Myanmar to ease repression and release of political prisoners, including Aung San Suu Kyi.

In casting their negative votes, the Russian and Chinese ambassadors argued that Burma, or Myanmar as it is known at the UN, should not be on the agenda of the Security Council, according to a report of Voice of America on November 1, 2009.

In March this year, they together blocked a short UNSC press statement on Myanmar which would have “noted with concern renewed fighting in some parts of the country and stressed the importance of humanitarian access to all effected areas”.

After eruption of the ongoing violence, the UNSC sat at a close-door meeting at the end of August and discussed the situation. But the Chinese ambassador strongly opposed UN's involvement to resolve the crisis.

In the wake of global outcry against the atrocities, China and Russia allowed the Security Council to issue a press statement urging Myanmar to end violence against Rohingya. It was the first time in nine years that the Council had come together to issue a statement on Myanmar.

But the call fell flat.
China and Russia again did not pay heed to global outcry at Thursday's open meeting held amid exodus of Rohingyas to Bangladesh from Rakhine state of Myanmar and the UN chief call for taking strong action.

Sticking rigid to their stances, Beijing and Moscow rather questioned the UNSC's jurisdiction to take any measure and argued that any interference would worsen the situation in Myanmar.

Russia's Ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia warned that “excessive pressure” on Myanmar's government to resolve the crisis “could only aggravate the situation in the country and around it.”

China's deputy UN ambassador condemned “recent violent attacks” in Myanmar but says “there is no quick fix” to the plight of Rohingyas.

Earlier this month, Myanmar government officials said they were negotiating with China and Russia to protect them from any possible action by the Security Council.

The above records, however, show the Council over the years has discussed Myanmar behind closed-doors, but could not move forward due to veto by China and Russia.

Thursday's open meeting was second one after eight years. The last open meeting was held in 2009 when Ban Ki-moon was the Secretary-General.

Until Thursday, the line up among the UNSC permanent members remains same on Myanmar issue. The US, the UK and France have been vocal against human rights violation in Myanmar and want actions while China and Russia have been siding with Myanmar opposing any action.

Japan, Sweden, Bolivia and Egypt also spoke for ending the violence against the Rohingya.

Formed in the aftermath of the Second World War with the core goal to prevent genocide, the UN has failed on many occasions due to lack of political commitment of the big nations enjoying veto power in the security council.

Against this backdrop, the call for restraining veto power has been growing over the past few years.

In 2013, France presented a proposal to the UN General Assembly to limit the use of the veto power in situations of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. France reiterated its stance in the general assembly in 2015.

That year, 107 countries placed a proposal in the general assembly for enacting a code of conduct to limit the exercise of the veto power in situation of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.

Both France and the UK have given their support to the proposed code of conduct. Three other members supported neither the France's initiative nor the proposed code of conduct.

This, too, exposed a sharp division among the permanent members of the UN's most powerful body.

UNSC speaks up against Myanmar but no punitive action is envisaged yet

After ignoring for years the smoldering Rohingya Muslim-Burmese Buddhist conflict in North Western Myanmar (apparently in the interest of bolstering the regime of “democracy icon” Aung San Suu Kyi) the United Nations has, at long last, woken up to the ethnic cleansing and genocide which have been taking place there.

500,000 Rohingya Muslims had to flee with nothing but their lives and the clothes they were wearing to neighboring Bangladesh to live in overcrowded and unhealthy shanties and pathetically clamor for food brought by relief workers, before the UN turned its attention to the tragedy unfolding before it.

Prior to this, the UN was so indulgent towards the Suu Kyi regime that UN press releases even avoided using the term “Rohingya”, which had become taboo for its Myamarese staffers. The UN used the Myanmarese term “Bengali” in line with the wishes of the power-that-be in Yangon.

During her four-year stint in Myanmar as the UN’s Resident Coordinator, Renata Lok-Dessallien, tried to stop human rights activists going to sensitive Rohingya areas; attempted to shut down public advocacy on the subject; isolated staff who tried to warn that ethnic cleansing might be on the way, the BBC said.

When a UN commissioned probe began checking its priorities in Myanmar in 2015, it damningly criticized the strategy of currying favor with the Suu Kyi regime in its report entitled: “Slippery Slope: Helping Victims of Supporting Systems of Abuse” which the BBC saw and reported.

“The UNCT strategy with respect to human rights focuses too heavily on the over-simplified hope that development investment itself will reduce tensions, failing to take into account that investing in a discriminatory structure run by discriminatory state actors is more likely to reinforce discrimination than change it,” the BBC said quoting from the report.

During her four-year stint in Myanmar as the UN’s Resident Coordinator, Renata Lok-Dessallien, tried to stop human rights activists going to sensitive Rohingya areas; attempted to shut down public advocacy on the subject; isolated staff who tried to warn that ethnic cleansing might be on the way, the BBC said.

The Canadian head of the United Nations Country Team or UNCT, had reported to Secretary General Antonio Guterres in April that Lok-Dessallien was “glaringly dysfunctional.”

Warning of the danger in allowing the wounds to grow and fester, Gueterres brought in the possibility of terrorism spreading if that were allowed. Displacement of hundreds or thousands of Rohingyas would turn the community into a “breeding ground” of radicals (read terrorists) he warned, as he called for “swift action” to prevent further deterioration.

Indicating an unholy nexus between Lok Dessallien and the Myanmar government the UN could not appoint a successor to her because the Myanmar government would not accept the substitute.

With the UN turning a blind eye, genocide continued to be ignored or under-reported.
US Role
If the matter did come up in the United Nations late this month forcefully, it was because the United States decided to go against its protégé Aung San Suu Kyi. Her failure was so gross that it could not be glossed over anymore for the sake of economic and strategic interests in Myanmar vis-à-vis regional rival China.

UN Human Rights Chief Prince Zeid Ra’ad bin Hussein was the first speak up. He branded the activities of the Suu Kyi regime as a “text book case of ethnic cleansing.”
Antonio Guterres Pulls No Punches
Following a request made by several Western nations, the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, briefed the Security Council on Thursday in which he pulled no punches.

“The situation has spiraled into the world’s fastest developing refugee emergency and a human rights nightmare,” the Secretary General said.

Warning of the danger in allowing the wounds to grow and fester, Gueterres brought in the possibility of terrorism spreading if that were allowed. Displacement of hundreds or thousands of Rohingyas would turn the community into a “breeding ground” of radicals (read terrorists) he warned, as he called for “swift action” to prevent further deterioration.

With the authorities in Myanmar themselves indicating that at least 176 of 471 Muslim villages in northern Rakhine have been totally abandoned, Gueterres said: “We have received bone-chilling accounts from those who fled – mainly women, children and the elderly.”

“Reports and testimonies pointed to serious violations of human rights, including indiscriminate firing of weapons, the presence of landmines and sexual violence,” he said, adding: “This is unacceptable and must end immediately.” U

Guterres went on to warn that failure to address the violence could result in a spill-over into central Rakhine — where an additional 250,000 Muslims could potentially face displacement.

He asked the Myanmar government to give UN agencies and their non-governmental partners “immediate and safe access to all affected communities.”

On the need to ensure safe, voluntary, dignified and sustainable return of the refugees to their areas of origin, Guterres noted that the 1993 Joint Statement of the Foreign Ministers of Bangladesh and Myanmar could be a useful “starting point”. But it could not be the whole framework, he stressed.

“The 1993 framework is not sufficient in the present circumstances, because it does not refer to resolving the root cause of displacement and because it requires documents that the refugee Rohingya may not be able to provide,” Guterres pointed out.

“Ensuring the safe, voluntary and dignified return of refugees to Rakhine – in line with international refugee law – will require the restoration of mutual trust among the communities,” he said, noting that improved inter-communal relations forms a critical part of a sustainable solution to the crisis.

The Secretary General said that the issue of protracted statelessness must be resolved.

“The Muslims of Rakhine state should be granted nationality,” he stated, adding that an effective verification exercise should be conducted to weed out non-residents.

“All others must be able to obtain a legal status that allows them to lead a normal life, including freedom of movement and access to labor markets, education and health services,” he added.
No Time For Niceties Says US
The US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, said that Myanmar’s actions in Rakhine State appeared to be ethnic cleansing and added: “The time for well meaning words in the Council have passed.”

Haley said that action must be considered against “Burmese (Myanmerse) security forces who are implicated in abuses stoking hatred among fellow citizens,” and urged countries that now sell weapons to Myanmar to suspend their deliveries until the military provides accountability.

“Those who have been accused of committing abuses should be removed from command responsibilities immediately and prosecuted for wrongdoing,” Haley demanded.

Japan’s UN Ambassador Koro Bessho strongly condemned the attacks on civilians and said his nation is “deeply disturbed” at reports of killings.
China opposed to Quick Fix
China, a neighbor of Myanmar and Bangladesh where hundreds of thousands have fled, said “there is no quick fix” to the conflict.

The visiting Myanmar National Security Advisor U Thaung Tun blamed terrorism, not religious persecution, for the unfolding crisis.

Thaung Tun said there is “no ethnic cleansing or genocide” in Myanmar, adding that those charges should not be lobbed lightly.

Myanmar’s special envoy told the Council the country realizes the humanitarian situation needs to be addressed. He said thousands fled because of fear due to terrorism, and that Myanmar is cooperating with the Red Cross.

Myanmar issued an invitation to the UN Secretary-General to visit the country in the “near future.” The UN said that it’s studying the offer.
Kofi Annan to Brief UNSC
The UNSC plans to hear from former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who chaired a commission on Myanmar packed with recommendations, next week.

Swedish UN Ambassador Olof Skoog said the Kofi Annan report “provides the way forward,” as he urged the Myanmar government to take responsibility to bring an end to the conflict once and for all.”
No Punitive Action Planned
However, despite the harsh words no formal action was taken after the session. Ambassadors said they felt that the 15-member council has sent a strong message to Myanmar.

For one thing, the Suu Kyi regime is stable and strong because on the Rohingya issue at least it has the full backing of the Tatmadaw or the Myanmar military which controls the levers of power.

Secondly, thanks to its strategic location and mineral resources, Myanmar has great strategic and economic value to the West which cannot be ignored for the sake of the poor Rohingyas.

Thirdly, China and Russia are standing four square behind Myanmar on this issue and both are ready to use their veto if the other permanent members, US, UK and France, propose any punitive action against Myanmar.

UN official in Myanmar ‘must be investigated’

European Rohingya Council urges global body to probe alleged UN role in ‘ethnic cleansing’ against Rohingya Muslims
ANKARA:
A Rohingya advocacy group has urged an independent investigation into allegations that UN’s resident coordinator in Myanmar had a role in the “ethnic cleansing” carried out against the Rohingya Muslim community.

“UN must investigate the incident independently,” chairman of the European Rohingya Council, Hla Kyaw told Anadolu Agency on Monday.

Major British news agency BBC published a story last Thursday titled “Rohingya Muslims fear the UN failed them” detailing accusations against the Canadian official, Renata Lok-Dessallien.

The BBC cited “sources within the UN and the aid community both in Myanmar and outside” as saying that Lok-Dessallien tried to stop human rights activists travelling to Rohingya areas, attempted to shut down public advocacy on the subject, and isolated staff who tried to warn that ethnic cleansing might be on the way.

The UN Security Council held an open meeting on the Rohingyas’ plight the same day — the first such meeting in eight years. During the meeting, U.S. envoy to the UN, Nikki Haley said the violence against the Rohingyas appeared to be an ethnic cleansing.

“We cannot be afraid to call the actions of the Burmese authorities what they appear to be: a brutal, sustained campaign to cleanse the country of an ethnic minority,” Haley told the Security Council.

Kyaw said the European Rohingya Council “fully agrees with what have surfaced to the media about UN failure to stop Myanmar’s genocide of Rohingya”.

“The UN is either complicit or ignored knowingly Myanmar’s crimes against humanity or slow-burning genocide against Rohingya,” in the western Rakhine State, he said.

Kyaw claimed that the “UN did not do anything effective to stop the death of even one single life of Rohingya,” as the Myanmar government’s “nearly 40 years systematic destruction of Rohingya has been happening under UN watch”.

The UN did only one thing; “systematic documentation of the genocide, and urging and condemning Myanmar’s genocide of Rohingya,” according to Kyaw.

He said the incident in Myanmar “could be pursuing self-interest [of the representative of the UN] or the interest of big power at the expenses of more than a million lives of Rohingya”.

“This is not about being afraid of Myanmar officials, rather they [she] didn’t want to displease Myanmar officials by being vocal against Myanmar’s extermination of Rohingya, I assume.”

Kyaw added Myanmar security forces were “continuously burning houses and manufacturing lies”.

“They are pulling Hindu community against Rohingya by excavating Hindu mass graves, probably killed by Myanmar military to blame Rohingya insurgents.

UN is busy as usual with releasing statements and condemning Myanmar, doing nothing effective to stop Myanmar from committing crimes against humanity and genocide against Rohingya.”
Blatant act of complicity
A Bangladesh-based refugee research unit also condemned the incident, calling it “a blatant act of complicity with the Burmese authority”.

“The United Nations is supposed to be a neutral agency,” said Chowdhury Rafiqul Abrar, coordinator of the Refugee and Migrating Movements Research Unit (RMMRU) of the University of Dhaka.

“The reported issue that Lok-Dessallien did not allow her colleagues to highlight the issue or report the issue what was happening in Rakhine region is a violation of the tasks they are supposed to do,” he told Anadolu Agency.

The RMMRU “deeply condemns” this act, he said, adding “this activity, in some way, prepared the ground for the Burmese army to do what they are doing right now”.

If the UN had “highlighted” this problem at that time, the international community would have been “more alerted” to this issue, according to Abrar.
UN denies allegations
The United Nations has denied allegations and expressed “full confidence” in the resident coordinator and her staff.

“The United Nations strongly disagrees with allegations against the UN Resident Coordinator in Myanmar, Renata Lok-Dessallien.

The Secretary-General has full confidence in the Resident Coordinator and her Team,” said a statement issued on Friday by Stephane Dujarric, spokesman to Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

Lok-Dessallien is a “tireless advocate for human rights, conflict prevention, and humanitarian and development assistance” in Rakhine State where the Rohingyas live, according to the statement.

More than 500,000 Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh since Aug. 25, according to the UN.

The refugees are fleeing a fresh security operation in which security forces and Buddhist mobs have killed men, women and children, looted homes and torched Rohingya villages.

According to Bangladeshi Foreign Minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali, around 3,000 Rohingya have been killed in the crackdown.

UN shelved hunger report on Rohingyas
It did so at request of Myanmar

Star Report

The UN World Food Programme withdrew a critical report revealing desperate hunger that the persecuted Rohingya population had been living with in Rakhine State of Myanmar, as its government demanded it be taken down.

The report on an assessment conducted in July by the WFP warned that more than 80,000 children under the age of five in majority-Muslim areas in Rakhine were “wasting”-- a potentially fatal condition of rapid weight loss, reported The Guardian newspaper yesterday.

The six-page document has been replaced by a statement saying Myanmar and the WFP were “collaborating on a revised version”. That process would involve “representatives from various ministries, and will respond to the need for a common approach” that was in line with “WFP's future cooperation with the government”.

The report should not be cited in any way, reads the statement.

The revelation adds to a series of recent criticisms that the UN did not push the Myanmar government hard enough to ensure the rights of 1.1 million Rohingyas in that country or sound the alarm at their spiralling oppression.

The issue exploded on August 25 when Rohingya insurgents attacked security forces who then responded with a severe counteroffensive that eventually sent nearly 600,000 Rohingyas fleeing into Bangladesh. Many of the refugees alleged mass killings and rapes.

The UN resident coordinator in Myanmar, Renata Lok Dessallien was recalled to the UN headquarters at the end of October amid allegations that she had suppressed another report and attempted to shut down public advocacy on sufferings of Rohingyas.

In response to The Guardian's query, the WFP said the report had been withdrawn from the website “following a request by the government to conduct a joint review”.

In an emailed statement, it said, “WFP stands by its original assessment, which was conducted jointly with local authorities in Rakhine State …. However WFP recognises that in a dynamic and evolving situation, it is important to coordinate closely with all partners, including the government.”

The August violence, however, halted the joint review, it added.

A consultant who had worked with the UN, including the WFP, in Myanmar, said the agency's in-country team were already extremely nervous about the report getting too much attention.

The assessment indicated that controversial cuts of WFP food aid for internally displaced Rohingyas over the previous two years had left people in dire need, the consultant said.

“That was the discussion that was going on behind the scenes and at a senior level,” the source said.

“They knew it was potentially damaging. It was all to do with the fact that internally, there was a belief that the decision made to stop feeding some of the [internally displaced people] was actually causing people serious harm, in terms of food security, hunger and even starvation.”

The WFP country office had also been prioritising its relationship with the government above humanitarian needs in an attempt to attract millions in donor funding by showing it had government-approved access to work in other parts of the country, the source told The Guardian.

“It's a funny thing in the UN. It's all about how much money you can raise,” the source said.

But the access came at the expense of Myanmar's most hated minority, the Rohingya, a toxic topic to raise with the government, leading to it being sidelined.

According to the findings of the report, one-third of all homes in Maungdaw were experiencing extreme food deprivation and called for further humanitarian assistance for more than 225,000 people.

And alarmingly, the assessment pointed to widespread accounts of security forces preventing Rohingyas from reaching markets and their crops.

“Restriction of movement was one of the main constraints for the population for accessing food,” it said. “Residents still did not have full access to the forest, agricultural land and fishing grounds due to continuous military presence.”

The Guardian has contacted the Myanmar government for comments.

The WFP did not respond directly to questions about whether food aid cuts had left vulnerable people in need or whether the agency had prioritised good relations with the government over the immediate humanitarian needs of the Rohingya.

“WFP's purpose in Myanmar is and always has been to address the food and nutrition needs of vulnerable people,” it said.

Rohingya crisis a great test for UN
UN resident coordinator tells

The ever-growing Rohingya influx is a crisis not only for Bangladesh but also for the region as well as the entire world, UN Resident Coordinator in Bangladesh Robert D Watkins has said.
Referring to the scale of the crisis, he said even the UN was facing a great test in helping Bangladesh to tackle the emergency.

“So far we are meeting the challenges, but we have no complete control of the situation for many reasons -- the sheer number, the speed with which they continue to cross the border and the challenges of trying to assist them in this very narrow piece of land, which is hilly,” he told The Daily Star in an interview last week.

He lamented the lack of consensus at the UN Security Council to find a solution, and emphasised that those responsible for the crimes against the Rohingya population must be held accountable.

“The Security Council has met more last month to talk about Myanmar than in the last 10 years. It is quite remarkable. In spite of that, we are still having problem to get consensus from the Security Council on steps that need to be taken to try to solve this problem,” said the UN head in Bangladesh.
A Security Council meeting in late September failed to make any decision on Myanmar because of opposition from China and Russia.

However, despite the lack of consensus at political level, there is absolute consensus that the UN has to intervene at humanitarian level. “We are doing everything within our power to ensure that needs of these people are met,” he said.

But the lingering of the refugee crisis will adversely affect Bangladesh's economy, which is a big concern, he added.

"It will definitely have an impact. There is no question about that. And that's why we not only have to find a solution to the problem quickly, but also to minimise the impact on the economy."

The solution lies in the repatriation of the refugees to Myanmar given that peace and security is ensured there, said Watkins, adding that he did not think any solution would come in the next few months.

His comments come when some 589,000 Rohingya people -- about 60 percent of them children -- have crossed into Bangladesh since August 25 to join nearly 400,000 of their fellow countrymen who fled violence in Myanmar in phases over the years.

The UN and other aid groups are struggling to mobilise fund for the emergency reliefs.

Early this month, UN agencies appealed for $434 million for emergency assistance for six months, but received commitment of only $105 million or 24 percent so far.

The $434, for which the UN is going to have a pledging conference in Geneva tomorrow, is for food, shelter, water, sanitation and medicine, and will not cover the cost of Bangladesh government that is "pretty large", said Watkins.

Therefore, it is important to seek funds from financial institutions like the World Bank, IMF, ADB, and possibly OIC, he added. "We know that we won't have the resources and Bangladesh won't have resources so we are going to find extra resources from both sides."

Bangladesh is playing host to such a huge number of refugees when it is facing its own development challenges. Despite various measures, the yearly poverty reduction rate has dropped from 1.7 percent between 2005 and 2010 to 1.2 percent between 2010 and 2016.

According the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics latest report, 24 percent people in Bangladesh are still poor (those unable to ensure daily food intake of 1,800-2,100 kilocalorie), and 13 percent of them are ultra poor (those unable to ensure daily food intake of 1,800 kilocalorie).

Slower growth in agriculture, drop in remittance inflow, lack of job opportunities, wealth inequality and challenges of reaching the hard-to-reach poor people were blamed for the slowing trend that goes against the UN's Sustainable Development Goals for 2015-2030 that speak of inclusive development.

Watkins said implementing the SDGs, which already faces financial challenges, would suffer further blows despite the fact that Bangladesh integrated the SDGs in its policies quite well.

“We hope the pledging conference in Geneva on October 23 will be an opportunity for other member countries of the UN to express solidarity with Bangladesh and the refugees and come up with financial contributions.”

Asked about media reports that the UN office in Myanmar shelved its own report that was critical of the UN's approach there, he said the UN leadership in Myanmar was criticised for not advocating human rights issues more openly.

But in a country like Myanmar it is not always the best policy to criticise the government publicly, he observed.

“Sometimes you have to speak quietly to the right people to raise these issues,” he said, adding that his UN colleagues in Myanmar followed that policy of dialogue with the government.

In spite of that, the UN was unable to prevent the violence. This, however, does not underline that the UN has not done enough, but the fact that Myanmar government or military already had decided to do what it did in response to the August 25 attack by Rohingya insurgents, he noted.

Asked if the UN needs reforms to make it more effective, Watkins said the discussions were very much there -- about expanding the number of permanent members and having representatives from developing countries.

He said the other aspect of discussion is if there can be some mechanism where decisions can be moved up to the UN general assembly from the Security Council in case of a deadlock like in the case of Myanmar.

The UN secretary-general is now focusing on administrative reforms whereby different UN agencies can work in a more coordinated way. Antonio Guterres will unveil some reforms in December.

“He has come up with some radical ideas of change. By next year, those will be enforced,” Watkins added.
GOVERNANCE IS BIG CHALLENGE
Asked about the development challenges in Bangladesh's domestic front, the UN official, who has been posted in Dhaka for three years, said there were systematic corruption at all levels -- both low and high.

Comparing corruption in Bangladesh with traffic chaos in the capital, he said, "People just don't care about other people. They are just concentrating on themselves."

As there is a sense of impunity that there will be no consequences for corruption, corruption is going to continue. "It is really a lot more about changing attitude, the mindset.

"People have to take example that nobody is above law. Ministers, for instance, are to be held accountable for their actions. If there are cases of corruption, there has to be consequences.

"If people see that is happening, rules are happening for everyone, not just for the rickshaw pullers, but for the ministers or any others, then they will start abiding the rules. That's how you start changing the mindset of people… People at the top have to set the example.

"People now say why should I do it? This rich man gets away with it, the minister gets away with it, why should I follow the rules? And, that's where it starts -- people at the top have to set the example."
PARTICIPATION OF ALL
PARTIES IN POLLS IS KEY

But the real challenge that Bangladesh faces today in democracy is the issue of full participation of all the political parties in elections.

He said the problem in last election was that the main opposition party chose not to participate, and thus the democracy in Bangladesh is not fully reflective of all of the political parties in the country.

"That's why we have been working tirelessly with political parties and urging them to participate in next national elections. We will be working with the Election Commission to ensure that the elections take place in the most professional environment."

This way, parliament will reflect the whole spectrum of political opinions. "That's what we want more than anything else," said the top UN official.

Has the UN failed Myanmar's Rohingya Muslims?
By Jonah Fisher BBC News, Yangon

Image caption Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya are sheltering in refugee camps in Bangladesh
The UN leadership in Myanmar tried to stop the Rohingya rights issue being raised with the government, sources in the UN and aid community told the BBC.

One former UN official said the head of the UN in Myanmar (Burma) tried to prevent human rights advocates from visiting sensitive Rohingya areas.

More than 500,000 Rohingya have fled an offensive by the military, with many now sheltering in camps in Bangladesh.
The UN in Myanmar "strongly disagreed" with the BBC findings.

In the month since Rohingya Muslims began flowing into Bangladesh, the UN has been at the forefront of the response. It has delivered aid and made robust statements condemning the Burmese authorities.

But sources within the UN and the aid community both in Myanmar and outside have told the BBC that, in the four years before the current crisis, the head of the United Nations Country Team (UNCT), a Canadian called Renata Lok-Dessallien:
  • tried to stop human rights activists travelling to Rohingya areas
  • attempted to shut down public advocacy on the subject
  • isolated staff who tried to warn that ethnic cleansing might be on the way.
One aid worker, Caroline Vandenabeele, had seen the warning signs before. She worked in Rwanda in the run-up to the genocide in late 1993 and early 1994 and says when she first arrived in Myanmar she noticed worrying similarities.

"I was with a group of expats and Burmese business people talking about Rakhine and Rohingya and one of the Burmese people just said 'we should kill them all as if they are just dogs'. For me, this level of dehumanisation of humans is one sign that you have reached a level of acceptance in society that this is normal."

Myanmar postpones diplomats' Rakhine visit
For more than a year I have been corresponding with Ms Vandenabeele, who has served in conflict areas such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Rwanda and Nepal.

Between 2013 and 2015 she had a crucial job in the UNCT in Myanmar. She was head of office for what is known as the resident co-ordinator, the top UN official in the country, currently Ms Dessallien.

The job gave Ms Vandenabeele a front-row seat as the UN grappled with how to respond to rising tensions in Rakhine state.

Back in 2012, clashes between Rohingya Muslims and Rakhine Buddhists left more than 100 dead and more than 100,000 Rohingya Muslims in camps around the state capital, Sittwe.

Since then, there have been periodic flare-ups and, in the past year, the emergence of a Rohingya militant group. Attempts to deliver aid to the Rohingya have been complicated by Rakhine Buddhists who resent the supply of aid for the Rohingya, at times blocking it and even attacking aid vehicles.

It presented a complex emergency for the UN and aid agencies, who needed the co-operation of the government and the Buddhist community to get basic aid to the Rohingya.

At the same time they knew that speaking up about the human rights and statelessness of the Rohingya would upset many Buddhists.

So the decision was made to focus on a long-term strategy. The UN and the international community prioritised long-term development in Rakhine in the hope that eventually increased prosperity would lead to reduced tensions between the Rohingya and the Buddhists.

For UN staff it meant that publicly talking about the Rohingya became almost taboo. Many UN press releases about Rakhine avoided using the word completely. The Burmese government does not even use the word Rohingya or recognise them as a distinct group, preferring to call them "Bengalis".

During my years reporting from Myanmar, very few UN staff were willing to speak frankly on the record about the Rohingya. Now an investigation into the internal workings of the UN in Myanmar has revealed that even behind closed doors the Rohingyas' problems were put to one side.

_98048327_464x2.jpg

Multiple sources in Myanmar's aid community have told the BBC that at high-level UN meetings in Myanmar any question of asking the Burmese authorities to respect the Rohingyas' human rights became almost impossible.
Who will help Myanmar's Rohingya?
Ms Vandenabeele said it soon became clear to everyone that raising the Rohingyas' problems, or warning of ethnic cleansing in senior UN meetings, was simply not acceptable.

"Well you could do it but it had consequences," she said. "And it had negative consequences, like you were no longer invited to meetings and your travel authorisations were not cleared. Other staff were taken off jobs - and being humiliated in meetings. An atmosphere was created that talking about these issues was simply not on."

Repeat offenders, like the head of the UN's Office for the Co-ordination for Humanitarian Assistance (UNOCHA) were deliberately excluded from discussions.

Ms Vandenabeele told me she was often instructed to find out when the UNOCHA representative was out of town so meetings could be held at those times. The head of UNOCHA declined to speak to the BBC but it has been confirmed by several other UN sources inside Myanmar.

Ms Vandenabeele said she was labelled a troublemaker and frozen out of her job for repeatedly warning about the possibility of Rohingya ethnic cleansing. This version of events has not been challenged by the UN.

Attempts to restrict those talking about the Rohingya extended to UN officials visiting Myanmar. Tomas Quintana is now the UN special rapporteur for human rights in North Korea but for six years, until 2014, held that same role for Myanmar.

Speaking from Argentina, he told me about being met at Yangon airport by Ms Dessallien.

"I received this advice from her - saying you should not go to northern Rakhine state - please don't go there. So I asked why and there was not an answer in any respect, there was just the stance of not trying to bring trouble with the authorities, basically," he said.

"This is just one story, but it demonstrates what was the strategy of the UN Country Team in regards to the issue of the Rohingya."

Mr Quintana still went to northern Rakhine but said Ms Dessallien "disassociated" herself from his mission and he didn't see her again.

One senior UN staffer told me: "We've been pandering to the Rakhine community at the expense of the Rohingya.

"The government knows how to use us and to manipulate us and they keep on doing it - we never learn. And we can never stand up to them because we can't upset the government."

The UN's priorities in Rakhine were examined in a report commissioned by the UN in 2015 entitled "Slippery Slope: Helping Victims or Supporting Systems of Abuse".

Leaked to the BBC, it is damning of the UNCT approach.

"The UNCT strategy with respect to human rights focuses too heavily on the over-simplified hope that development investment itself will reduce tensions, failing to take into account that investing in a discriminatory structure run by discriminatory state actors is more likely to reinforce discrimination than change it."

There have been other documents with similar conclusions. With António Guterres as the new secretary general in New York, a former senior member of the UN was asked to write a memo for his team in April.

Titled "Repositioning the UN" the two-page document was damning in its assessment, calling the UN in Myanmar "glaringly dysfunctional".

In the weeks that followed the memo, the UN confirmed that Ms Dessallien was being "rotated"but stressed it was nothing to do with her performance. Three months on Ms Dessallien is still the UN's top official there after the Burmese government rejected her proposed successor.

"She has a fair view and is not biased," Shwe Mann, a former senior general and close ally of Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi, told me. "Whoever is biased towards the Rohingyas, they won't like her and they will criticise her."

Ms Dessallien declined to give an interview to the BBC to respond to this article.

The UN in Myanmar said its approach was to be "fully inclusive" and ensure the participation of all relevant experts.

"We strongly disagree with the accusations that the resident co-ordinator 'prevented' internal discussions. The resident co-ordinator regularly convenes all UN agencies in Myanmar to discuss how to support peace and security, human rights, development and humanitarian assistance in Rakhine state," a statement from a UN spokesperson in Yangon said.

On Tomas Quintana's visits to Rakhine, the spokesperson said Ms Dessallien had "provided full support" in terms of personnel, logistics and security.

Ten ambassadors, including from Britain and the United States, wrote unsolicited emails to the BBC when they heard we were working on this report, expressing their support for Ms Dessallien.

There are those who see similarities between the UN's much-criticised role in Sri Lanka and what has happened in Myanmar. Charles Petrie wrote a damning report into the UN and Sri Lanka, and also served as the UN's top official in Myanmar (before being expelled in 2007).

He said the UN's response to the Rohingya over the past few years had been confused and that Ms Dessallien hadn't been given the mandate to bring all of the key areas together.

"I think the key lesson for Myanmar from Sri Lanka is the lack of a focal point. A senior level focal point addressing the situation in Myanmar in its totality - the political, the human rights, the humanitarian and the development. It remains diffuse. And that means over the last few years there have been almost competing agendas."

So might a different approach from the UN and the international community have averted the humanitarian disaster we are seeing now? It's hard to see how it might have deterred the Burmese army's massive response following the 25 August Rohingya militant attack.

Ms Vandenabeele said she at least believed an early warning system she proposed might have provided some indications of what was about to unfold.

"It's hard to say which action would have been able to prevent this," she told me. "But what I know for sure is that the way it was done was never going to prevent it. The way it was done was simply ignoring the issue."

Mr Quintana said he wished the international community had pushed harder for some sort of transitional justice system as part of the move to a hybrid democratic government.

One source said the UN now appeared to be preparing itself for an inquiry into its response to Rakhine, and this could be similar to the inquiry that came after the controversial end to Sri Lanka's civil war - and which found it wanting.
..No..It the muslim countries who have failed them..
Everybody have made big talks and none have adopted them....
....Hope muslim countries, which have Islam as state religion or those who are champions of muslim causes, grow balls and adopt at least few millions of them and relieve pressure off Bangladesh

And that only helps Myanmar to cleanse Rohingya.
This is a crime against humanity.
That turd Modi was the only leader to go to Myanmar in September and publicly support this vile regime.

We have already criticised China for it's stance.
Plenty of Chinese members were unhappy about this.
Fact remains, why did Modi go to Myanmar to publicly support this vile regime?

Are you born dumb or act like one..?
Myanmar is more important than rohingyas for India.India is with Mayanmar and consider rohingyas as potential terrorist. Does this message has to be drilled to you.
..And still you keep begging for answers from India, Modi.
...Stop crawling, stand-up and try to resolve the problem without India.
...Not China.., for them also Mayanmar is important than rohingyas, It is the muslim countries, who are champions of Islam who have failed rohingyas . They just paid lip services to them and Bangladesh, and yet bangladeshi posters have no guts to question them and keep barking at India or China.

No one is begging you stupid turd.
You blamed Muslims for this and I said that it is Myanmar's fault with the support of that other turd Modi.
We all know why Modi supports Myanmar, just needed to be stated.

Now buzz off if you do not have anything productive to add you pathetic Indian.

Ps - Modi supports Myanmar just because Rohingya are Muslims and also to safeguard Indian interests in Myanmar. This "terrorism" excuse is nonsense.

Sure, you are born stupid.
India considers rohingyas as potential terrorists and it has been said in country's Supreme Court, yet you wanted me to confirm.
Mayanmar, China, India and Muslim countries are doing or have done what is in their best intrest.
Posters in pdf are doing whatever is in their best interest...Writing mile long articles, which no one reads.
Bangladesh should also do whatever is in it's best interest. Shut the borders...Or else rohingyas will become drain to BD's gain.
Or it should accept them without begging to India, China or the world.
Get well soon.
This is my 3rd post on rohingyas, more than they deserve. No more time waste on rohingyas.
