Overview

  • UN human rights officials say both the Myanmar military and the Arakan Army continue to commit serious atrocity crimes against Rohingya in violation of international law, including ICJ provisional measures.
  • The human rights and humanitarian situation in Rakhine State has sharply deteriorated since November 2023, with civilians caught in crossfire, forced recruitment and widespread abuses.
  • More than 1.1 million Rohingya are hosted in Bangladesh as new flight continues, and reported pushbacks, removals and deportations in the region raise non-refoulement concerns.
  • Global funding cuts have severely reduced food assistance, healthcare, education, livelihood opportunities and protection services for Rohingya in Myanmar and in Cox’s Bazar.
  • UN leaders urge increased humanitarian support and stronger accountability efforts, with the Secretary‑General pointing to the 30 September high‑level conference in New York as a chance to mobilize durable solutions while the Special Envoy engages stakeholders.
