Debate rages on over UN humanitarian corridor to Rakhine. On Friday, Shafiqul said in Chattogram: “We agree to the humanitarian corridor if the UN takes the initiative. International law does not offer a definitive legal definition of a "humanitarian corridor", but it does require all parties in a conflict to ensure rapid and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians. Former ambassador Humayun Kabir suggested testing the concept of a humanitarian corridor but highlighted the need for deeper consideration before implementation. He acknowledged that, diplomatically, a humanitarian corridor could be a "possible" solution, but emphasised that political action was equally critical.
