Presented as part of the MUN B 2023 conference
| 1 | To The General Assembly: |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Alarmed that the Buddhist population of Myanmar and the Myanmar military have killed a recorded |
| 4 | 25,000 Rohingya people and have physically harassed another 170,000 Rohingyas, |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Acknowledging that the reason behind these attacks is a result of religious persecution, as the |
| 7 | Rohingya people practice Islam while the offenders practice Buddhism, |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Saddened that The United Nations has described the Rohingya as “the most persecuted minority in |
| 10 | the world”, |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Noting with concern that 86 percent of the Rohingya population is currently residing below the |
| 13 | poverty line, resulting in food, water, and shelter scarcity, |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Aware that more than 1 million Rohingya Refugees have fled from Myanmar to seek asylum and |
| 16 | have fled to countries such as Bangladesh, Thailand, India, and Indonesia, thus making this a |
| 17 | global issue, |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Further alarmed that 142,000 Rohingyas are currently internally displaced within Myanmar, |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Recalling that the UNHCR has committed to combating xenophobia, racism, and discrimination |
| 22 | against refugees in resolution 71/1, but help has only been provided by the UN in providing |
| 23 | resources to those who have already fled the country, |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Profusely upset that the military has performed a coup d'état and has taken control of the |
| 26 | country through a military junta, therefore having no official body to stop them from attacking the |
| 27 | Rohingya population, |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Shocked that most of these attacks are being unlawfully staged by the military due to their |
| 30 | xenophobia towards Muslims, |
| 31 | |
| 32 | Deeply concerned that the attacks on the Rohingya population of Myanmar have been ongoing |
| 33 | since 2017, |
| 34 | |
| 35 | We the Delegation of Myanmar Does Hereby: |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Calls upon the United Nations to grant 75 million USD to resolve the refugee crisis by building two |
| 38 | refugee camps in the Rakhine State of Myanmar, the state where the Rohingya people reside; |
| 39 | |
| 40 | Further calls upon the United Nations to deploy 500 peace officers to monitor these camps and to |
| 41 | help Rohingyas in areas where help is needed the most; |
| 42 | |
| 43 | The money will be allocated in two different ways: |
| 44 | |
| 45 | 67 million into creating 2 refugee camps that will last for 12 months. Essential needs such as |
| 46 | clothing, food, and water will be provided in these camps. Each of these camps will house around |
| 47 | 50,000 refugees. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | 8 million to provide the 500 peace officers with adequate shelter, food, and water. |
| 50 | Recommends that the United Nations provide food resources through the help of the World Food |
| 51 | Program (WFP) to provide food aid to the Rohingya; |
| 52 | |
| 53 | Encourages the United Nations to collaborate with the UNHCR to build shelters for Rohingya |
| 54 | refugees’ needs accordingly; |
| 55 | |
| 56 | Asks that the United Nations will ensure this resolution will enact on January 1st, 2024; |
| 57 | |
| 58 | Requests the UN to have an evaluation of the work done 1 year after the enactment of this |
| 59 | resolution to observe the progress so far and determine if it is viable to continue peacekeeping |
| 60 | efforts; and |
| 61 | |
| 62 | Urges the passage of this resolution. |
