8. Compelling ASEAN to Uphold International Law
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) must be compelled to take a more
active stance in addressing the crisis and ensuring that Myanmar upholds its obligations
under international law. Neighbouring countries, especially Thailand, Malaysia, and
Indonesia, should be encouraged to join regional initiatives for the protection and
relocation of Rohingya refugees.
9. Supporting Independent Reporting
The international community should provide resources for independent bodies to
document crimes and collect evidence. Additionally, efforts must be coordinated with the
United Nation’s Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar (IIMM) to preserve
testimonies and material evidence for future prosecution.
10. Provision of Humanitarian Assistance
Governments and international NGOs must urgently provide humanitarian assistance to
Rohingyas in both Myanmar and neighbouring countries like Bangladesh. Food, medical
care, shelter, and trauma support should be delivered to those displaced by violence,
ensuring their basic rights under international humanitarian law.
