UN No Role in Rohingya Repatriation
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees confirmed that it is not involved in Malaysia's plan to resettle Myanmar refugees back to their homeland, indicating that return is unsafe due to ongoing conflict and violence in Myanmar. The agency clarified that international law prevents the forced repatriation of anyone, despite the presence of approximately 193,800 Myanmar refugees in Malaysia, including Rohingya and Chin populations. It emphasized that return must be voluntary and safe. The current plans for repatriating refugees raise international concerns, especially given the ongoing conflicts in Myanmar that have displaced thousands since the 2021 coup.
