Nabiollah Ahmadlou, Chairman of AIJDHR, slammed the massacre of Muslim in Myanmar in e letter to Head of United Nations Security Council Amr Abdellatif Aboulatta.

 “The brutal slaughter of innocent Myanmar Muslims claiming lives of tens of thousands, displacing hundreds of thousands and assaulting thousands of women, exemplifies crimes against humanity, genocide and ethnic cleansing, unfortunately taking place under international community silence,” reads part of the letter.

He then decries negligence of Myanmar government in ensuring the right of security for the entire nation; “it is a principle underlined by international community and emphasized in all human rights documents that governments have the obligation to protect the inherent right to life and security of their people.”

 “Article 3 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 6 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights underline these rights as an indispensable principle while the 2^nd Article introduces governments’ commitment to the principle as a basic rule; all documents on human rights including the 1^st Article of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the 2^nd Article of Universal Declaration of Human Rights underline the governments’ obligation in not discriminating the people based on religion and other issues as a fundamental principle of human rights,” reads the statement.

“Yet, surprisingly, we are witness to cruel ethnic slaughter of innocent and defenseless people in Myanmar due to their religion under the support of the government without any effective measure from the influential international bodies including UN Security Council,” the letter lamented.

 “Such organized crimes against humanity need adoption of effective measures by Security Council based on the Article 7 of the Universal Declaration of the Human Rights; we ask the Council to take urgent and practical measures in Myanmar on the basis of rules governing the international community just as it was the case for Bosnia, Rwanda and Afghanistan where the humanitarian crises were halted by effective efforts; we demand identification, prosecution and punishment of the Myanmar crime,” urged the AIJDHR chairman.

 “Any reconciliation and shortcoming in this regard would result in severe consequences for the international community,” the letter warned.
