Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland has said that atrocities on Rohingyas must end and justice must be done. She arrived in Dhaka last week along with Canada’s Special Envoy to Myanmar Bob Rae and visited Rohingya camps in Cox’s Bazar. Over 700,000 Rohingyas have fled to Bangladesh following an army crackdown in Rakhine State in Myanmar since August last year. The Canadian foreign minister said: “We must work to establish a clear pathway towards accountability for the atrocities and human rights violations committed in Rakhine state, and coordinate efforts to build lasting peace in Myanmar. Chrystia called on the UN Security Council “to systematically incorporate sexual violence as a specific designation criterion in UN sanctions regimes.”
