Amnesty International has said Myanmar's Rohingya exodus exposes abject failure of world leaders to deliver a solution to the refugee crisis. After being subjected to horrific violence, including killings and having their villages burned to the ground, these Rohingya refugees are now facing a humanitarian crisis as Bangladesh struggles to support them," said Salil Shetty, secretary general of Amnesty. As a consequence, in the space of less than three weeks, almost 400,000 Rohingya refugees have fled Myanmar to Bangladesh. What will it take for governments to wake up to the reality that their response to the global refugee crisis is totally broken?" Since the Leaders' Summit, many governments have not only failed to meaningfully address the growing refugee crisis, but have outdone each other in trying to dismantle refugee rights and have failed to respond to new crises around the world.
