So we will now proceed with the draught proposal L30 Ref One Situation of human Rights of Rohingya Muslims and other minorities in Myanmar and let me ask Pakistan to introduce the draught text.
President, on behalf of the OSC countries, I have been honoured to introduce draught resolution entitled Situation of Human Rights of Rohingya Muslims and other Minorities in Myanmar, as contained in document A slash HRC slash 53 slash L30AS orally devised.
The draught resolution highlights the concerns of the international community over the grave human rights and humanitarian situation in Myanmar, especially in the context of decades long systemic discrimination against Ranga Muslims and other minorities.
Unfortunately, successive governments and authorities have failed to uphold their obligations towards Renga Muslims and other minorities, resulting in their marginalisation and violation of their fundamental rights.
We conducted several rounds of consultations with delegations and civil society members and therefore appreciate their active engagement on the draught text, which represents a united voice in support of Renga Muslims and other minorities in Myanmar.
President, the Draught resolution condemns all violations and abuses of human rights in Myanmar and calls for an immediate end to violence.
It stresses the need to address the root causes of the crisis in in the Rakhine State, while reiterating the commitment to ensuring accountability and justice for Angers.
It highlights the importance of international independent and transparent investigations to hold accountable all those responsible for the grave human rights violations.
We are almost in the 7th year since more than 1,000,000 Rohingyas left Myanmar in the face of brutalities.
The resolution expresses deep concern at the gradually decreasing financial support and consequent food ration cut for the Rohingyas temporarily sheltered in Bangladesh.
It calls upon the international community to continue to manifest strong pronouncements of solidarity and support towards the Rohingyas and continue to make adequate financial contributions for them.
The current political turmoil in Myanmar should not detract us from paying the due attention to this lingering crisis and seeking A durable solution.
The resolution highlights Myanmar's responsibility towards creating conducive conditions for a voluntary, safe and dignified return and the primacy of sustainable return along among durable solutions.
It notes a recent field visit by Rohingya representative to ascertain whether the situation in Rakhine is conducive for return and the imperative to address challenges thereof.
The draught text request the **** Commissioner to present an oral update to the Human Rights Council at its 58 session and a report at its 59 session and a report to the General Assembly at its 79 session.
The OIC hopes this Council will stand united in support of Rohingya Muslims and other minorities in Myanmar and uphold their fundamental rights.
We urge all Council members to join consensus on the this draught resolution.
Let me inform you that there is an additional Co sponsor and let me open the floor for general comments.

Thank you and now let me invite Bangladesh.
President, My delegation wishes to thank the OEC Member States for tabling this draught resolution.
In August 2017, for humanity's sake, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina opened borders to the Rohingya who were fleeing from violence and atrocity crimes in Myanmar.
Six years on, unfortunately, not a single Rohingya could return to their ancestral land.
President, in our view, the draught L30 document as orally devised as a balanced one.
It recognises the works done so far by the UN mechanisms and entities such as OACHR Special Reporter on Myanmar, Special on by on Myanmar, IIMM and asked while FFM on international accountability.
It expresses deep concern at the gradually reducing level of funds and consequent food ratio cut for the Rohingyas temporarily sheltered in Bangladesh.
The resolution notes a recent go and see visit by Rohingya representatives to ascertain for themselves whether condition is conducive for return.
President, Bangladesh believes there is a pressing need to keep repatriation issue on the top of the international agenda.
If repatriation doesn't start soon, it would only deteriorate the overall situation in Cox's Bazaar where large number of Rohingyas are camped and create instability in the region and beyond.
Frustration and disappointment often lead to criminal tendency among some of the Rohingya.
Over 150 Rohingyas have died in the recent one year due to internal fights among for various reasons.
This has the potent of becoming a full-fledged regional insecurity if not addressed with the urgency.
The world community should recognise Bangladesh's concern, appreciate the primacy of return over third country settlement or local integration, which cannot be an option for Bangladesh.
To that end, we strongly endorse the current text calling upon Myanmar to ensure full implementation of all recommendations of the Advisory Commission on Rakhine State to address root causes and commence with the repatriation process without delay, and work with determination to the citizenship of the Rohingya.
To conclude, we invite all distinguished members of the Council to adopt this draught resolution, which is updated and thoroughly balanced, incorporating important and useful contributions from international delegations by consensus.
Is there another request for the floor at this point?
On the Member State could speak, it's not the case, so let me inform you that there are PBIS and they were posted on the externet explanations of votes before the vote United States of America at the floor.
President, the United States stands with the people of Myanmar.
I want to reiterate that we see you, we hear you, and we have not forgotten you.
We support calls for the voluntary, dignified, safe and sustainable return of Rohingya refugees who are predominantly Muslim, to Myanmar, but only when conditions are safe for such a return.
Unfortunately, conditions in Myanmar are not currently safe, and we oppose the immediate commencement of returns to Myanmar as this resolution calls for.
Additionally, we are deeply concerned that deceptive and coercive measures have reportedly been employed to compel Rohingya to return to Myanmar, and note that Rohingya who participated in the quote go and see visit unequivocally rejected the repatriation plans.
Accordingly, we call upon the military regime which seized power in a 2021 coup to cease violence and restore the path to democracy, and for all relevant actors to immediately work toward creating, as quickly as possible safe conditions for Rohingya to return to Myanmar.
We also call for greater urgency to address the root causes of violence and discrimination resulting in the Rohingya refugee crisis, as reiterated by the UN Security Council in Resolution 2669 on the situation in Myanmar.
We_that this resolution like, all HRC RESOLUTIONS is, non binding and does not create rights or obligations under international law it.
Does not change the current state of controversial or customary international law or the body of international law applicable to any particular situation the.
United States Does not necessarily understand references to conflict or international humanitarian law or international humanitarian law terms of art in this resolution to mean that as a matter of law, an armed conflict exists in a particular country or that those terms are applicable to any specific actor situation.
Finally, we note that we interpret references to Rohingya's right to voluntary return to Myanmar as consistent with Article 12 Four of the ICCPR, which provides that no one shall be arbitrarily deprived of the right to enter their own country.
We wish to express our gratitude to this Council for its continued commitment and attention to the plight of the Rohingya.
And now let me invite Belgium.

the United Kingdom, we have the floor.
President, Let me thank the OIC for presenting the resolution before us.
We have heard repeatedly through this Council, including from the **** Commissioner and the Special Rapporteur, about the appalling human rights violations being suffered by the Rohingya and those belonging to other minorities in Myanmar.
Almost 1/4 of the 600,000 Rohingya who remain in Rakhine State have been confined to IDP camps for a decade, face systematic discrimination and continue to be denied citizenship and access to basic services.
This suffering has only been compounded by the destruction wrought by Cyclone Mocha.
The Myanmar military continues to operate with impunity.
Over 17 million people are now in need of humanitarian assistance.
More than 1.8 million have been displaced and thousands of civilians, including children, have been gaoled, tortured and killed.
This resolution rightly keeps international attention on these issues and calls for international accountability, the immediate cessation of violence and unhindered humanitarian access.
It also rightly recognises the huge important role played by the government and people of Bangladesh can continue to host over 1,000,000 Rohingya refugees and underlines the need for continued humanitarian assistance.
However, the UK reiterates that any repatriation of Rohingya to Myanmar must only occur once the conditions allow for their voluntary, safe, dignified and sustainable return in line with UNHCR principles.
It's imperative that these criteria are not compromised and it remains clear that conditions in rack and state are not currently conducive for return.
Reports following the recent go and see visits have only served to reinforce our concerns.
We had hoped to see stronger language to reflect these important points in the text and we will continue to raise these concerns in international FORA.
President, the situation in Myanmar deserves the continued collective attention and resolve of this Council.
The UK remains committed to working with the OIC and other international partners to address the root causes of the crisis in Myanmar and ultimately to end the suffering of the Rohingya and other minorities.
It is with this understanding that the UK will support this resolution.
Is there additional request for the floor?
At this stage seems not to be the case.
Is there a request for a vote?
So may I take it that the draught proposal L30 Ref One may be adopted without a vote?
