Canada has said it remains steadfast in its support for efforts to advance accountability, dignity and justice for the Rohingya. The discussion focused on the long-standing persecution and violence faced by the Rohingya in Myanmar, their ongoing struggle for rights and justice, and the importance of international accountability, said the high commission on Monday. The Rohingya representatives expressed their appreciation for Canada’s support, including support to ensure the Rohingya victims' voices are heard in the landmark ICJ case. The High Commissioner acknowledged their courage in testifying and reaffirmed Canada’s commitment to human rights, accountability and international justice. Bangladesh is currently hosting over 1.3 million Rohingya in Cox’s Bazar camps and Bhasan Char.
