The panel was presenting its full 440-page report to the UN Human Rights Council after a summary issued on Aug. 27. Myanmar’s government dismissed that summary at the time and said the international community was making “false allegations”. Myanmar’s ambassador, Kyaw Moe Tun, rejected the panel’s findings as “one-sided” and said his government did not recognize its mandate. “In this regard, the democratic transition in Myanmar has barely begun and now it is has come to a standstill,” he added. Restrictions curtailing the Rohingyas’ ability to work and access health care and education in Rakhine have intensified since last year.
