Hostility against aid agencies has grown following government accusations that international aid workers supported the Rohingya militants because some high-energy biscuits distributed by the World Food Program were found in an alleged militant camp in July 2017.[36] Some supply warehouses of international aid groups were reported looted in September, while national and international staff of the UN and international aid organizations have faced intimidation, according to the European Commission’s Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations.

9,000 who fled military attacks at risk as donors cut aid https://t.co/q7mym3e8uW via @burmacampaignuk
— Burma Campaign UK (@burmacampaignuk) 23. September 2017
The Department for International Development (DFID) and other donors and aid agencies are facing unprecedented challenges with more than 400,000 Rohingya who have arrived in Bangladesh after fleeing attacks by the Burmese Army. But that doesn’t mean they should forget other people who have fled attacks by the military.
“By cutting aid donors are effectively starving these internally displaced people into risking their lives returning to places that are not safe,” said Anna Roberts. “No one should be forced to return home when it is not safe for them to do so. We need DFID to step in and provide emergency funding to these people and work with other donors to ensure that there is funding for internally displaced people and refugees on the Thailand-Burma border so that they can return home when it is safe, or have another safe place to live.”

“Let me say that efforts such as the EU-Turkey deal, which tries to stem the flow of asylum seekers and irregular migrants travelling across the Aegean Sea from Turkey to the Greek islands is apparently a deviation from the 1951 UN Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol, as the latter obligates the receiving states’ parties to provide protection to people in need, and also adhere to the principle of non-refoulement.”

Campaign success! UK finally stops military training. Now must back arms embargo: https://t.co/WgR8tTeyZL
— Burma Campaign UK (@burmacampaignuk) 19. September 2017
“It is incredible that is has taken three weeks of an ethnic cleansing campaign, thousands dead and nearly half a million displaced, before the British government decided to cancel this training,” said Mark Farmaner, Director of Burma Campaign UK. “Ending this training should have been a no-brainer, not something to dither over for three weeks while ethnic cleansing happens in front of our eyes. The original decision to provide this training is an example of catastrophic misjudgement by the British government about the situation in Burma. A major rethink on policy is now needed and a return to putting human rights first.”
Burma Campaign UK will now also campaign for Germany and Austria to end the training programmes they have offered to the military in Burma.

UK is the only donor that has published detailed information about multi-year funding commitments to both the Lebanese and Jordanian governments’ education plans.
More detailed, comprehensive information on education aid is needed to assess whether donors have met their own pledges and provided aid in a timely way, and whether the activities being funded address key obstacles that are hampering the realization of the right to education for hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugee children. Donors, implementing agencies, and host governments need to know what programs are being funded in order to coordinate their efforts effectively and avoid gaps or overlaps in aid.

Thousands of Uyghurs have been subjected to ‘political re-education’, not because they have done anything wrong, but because they are deemed ‘politically unreliable’.
In the past, Chinese authorities have imprisoned Uyghur scholars and journalists who right about the true history of East Turkestan and the current situation there, to silence any dissenting voices. This latest campaign seeks to build on this by forcing a false historical narrative on the population of East Turkestan in attempt to brainwash them, establish greater control over the region and undermine any claims to greater self-determination.

EBN Statement on Rohingya Crisis – EU must move from issuing weak statements to concrete action https://t.co/alUhnqeReM via @burmacampaignuk
— Burma Campaign UK (@burmacampaignuk) 14. September 2017
The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the European Commission Federica Mogherini have issued two statements on the Rakhine Crisis on 6th September and 11th September, the first one almost two weeks after the crisis began, both without even mentioning the Rohingya by name. Neither did the statements from the European External Action Service condemn the Burmese military explicitly for the attacks on the Rohingya, the one on 6th September just weakly stating: “The security forces involved in ongoing operations have a duty to exercise maximum restraint and to protect unarmed civilians. There is an urgent need for a de-escalation of tensions, on all sides, and for full observance of international human rights law.”
The EU needs to move from issuing weak statements to concrete action to help stop the attacks on the Rohingya. It is completely unacceptable that the EU during this crucial time of persecution of the Rohingya does not even refer to the ethnic group by their name.

While the world focuses on Aung San Suu Kyi, the man responsible for these horrific abuses gets little condemnation. Min Aung Hlaing is guilty of ethnic cleansing and under investigation for war crimes, but he is embraced by the international community. This must change.
In Asia, Min Aung Hlaing has completed visits to India and Japan this year, even meeting prime ministers in those countries. As he began his campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Rohingya, he met military heads from Vietnam and Thailand to discuss closer military ties.

„India has, today, submitted its Memorial (written pleadings) to the ICJ in the Jadhav case involving egregious violation of Vienna Convention on Consular Relations 1963 by Pakistan. This is in furtherance of our application filed before the Court on May 8, 2017,“ External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said.
On May 8, India moved the ICJ for instituting proceedings against Pakistan for violations of the Vienna Convention „in the matter of the detention and trial of an Indian National, Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav“, sentenced to death in Pakistan and requested immediate suspension of the sentence of death awarded to the accused.

Interview: Legal Expert Says Onus On Ukraine To Justify Depriving Fmr Georgian Pres Saakashvili Of Citizenship https://t.co/QnMKBuM6wd

„UN recognition of his status as stateless.“ What might this mean and does such recognition give him any rights or leverage?
So you immediately see in the more prominent international declarations, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, they now recognize the right to nationality. And this is reconfirmed in a number of international treaties and texts, including various conventions that have been created since the end of World War II.
[Ukrainian courts will]…uphold the decision because Ukraine has incorporated in its own constitution these international protections against depriving someone arbitrarily of citizenship and it does also state that individuals have the right to appear in a fair, objective court proceeding and to argue their case and to be represented. So far, that hasn’t happened.

It couldn’t come at a better time. Already, the U.N. Human Rights Council has passed a resolution last year requesting its high commissioner for human rights to create a database of companies that operate in or have business relationships in the West Bank beyond Israel’s 1949 Armistice Lines, which includes all of Jerusalem, Israel’s capital.
Moreover, the European Union has instituted a mandatory labeling requirement for agricultural products made in the West Bank and has restricted its substantial research and development funds to Israeli universities and companies to only those with no contacts with territories east of the Armistice Line.
None of the many U.N. member states that are serial human rights violators are accorded similar treatment. Not Iran. Not Syria. Not North Korea. Only Israel.
