ADVISORY COMMISSION ON RAKHINE STATE outside the security forces), and report to the public. 68. The Government should establish a national complaint mechanism, through which individuals may seek redress in cases of abuse or neglect by security personnel. The body should be independent of the Government and report its findings publicly. 69. The Government should simplify the security infrastructure in Rakhine by creating a unified agency for all policing in the state, with a single chain of command reporting directly to the chief of Myanmar’s Police Force. This could for instance be done by folding the BGP into the police. All police action, including arrest and detention, should be subject to clear operational procedures and robust scrutiny within a clear legal framework. 70. Security personnel assigned to Muslim majority areas in northern Rakhine State should be offered language training in order to reduce misunderstandings and improve relations with local communities. In the meantime, community liaison officers should be appointed to act as interpreters. 71. In the wake of the fatal attack on the Border Guard Police on 9 October 2016 and the subsequent military operations carried out in northern Rakhine State, allegations have been made of serious human rights violations by the security forces during these operations. In light of such allegations, the Commission reiterates the recommendation in its interim report that the Government should ensure – based on independent and impartial investigation – that perpetrators of serious human rights violations are held accountable. The Commission noted the establishment of the Investigation Commission on the events in Maungdaw, and calls on the Government to release the full report as soon as possible. FINAL REPORT 55
