A/HRC/60/NGO/26 V. Support community-led documentation initiatives, particularly by Rohingya, that do not rely on recognition by current actors asserting control of Myanmar. VI. Reject efforts by SAC to build mass surveillance tools and discredit false claims that the e-ID will expand access to government services and welfare on an inclusive, rightsrespecting, and non-discriminatory basis. VII. Demand accountability for discriminatory practices that have deprived Rohingya and other communities of their right to a nationality and rendered them stateless. Resist actions that further entrench these laws and practices through digital transformation projects, antifraud or election security initiatives, and regional migration control regimes. VIII. Ensure meaningful participation of affected Rohingya communities and stateless-led and refugee-led organisations in the decision-making processes to pursue durable solutions and protection of human rights. IX. Urge the repeal of the 1982 Citizenship Law and related procedures and the adoption of a new nationality law and comprehensive regulatory framework that is not discriminatory, protects against statelessness and prohibits the arbitrary deprivation of nationality, applied with retroactive effect. X. Call on neighbouring states and demand their cooperation to ensure the rights of refugees who were rendered stateless, especially Rohingya in Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, including access to documentation, education, healthcare, and release and protection from arbitrary detention or refoulement. Strongly condemn and demand cessation of Indian and Chinese foreign cooperation with military procurement of biometric-based surveillance technologies, including the e-ID. XI. Create the necessary conditions for the voluntary repatriation of Rohingya refugees, namely, by ensuring consent, UN oversight, right to nationality, equality and human rights, normalisation, accountability, and rehabilitation and reintegration, before any further return efforts are carried out. XII. Maintain regular accountability mechanisms that can document and report on the perpetration of violations in Myanmar and facilitate legal and other forms of accountability, ensure that affected communities are meaningfully included in informing and accessing these mechanisms, and act to protect Myanmar’s people from the arbitrary and discriminatory actions of a wider strategy of persecution. XIII. Urge states and international donors to conduct human rights due diligence prior to any provision of financial and military support, including e-ID and related digital surveillance systems, to the current actors asserting control of Myanmar, to prevent perpetuating statelessness and discrimination towards stateless communities in the country.
