Calls for innovative international initiatives and cooperation have surfaced to address the ongoing Rohingya crisis. During a recent visit to Cox’s Bazar, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) chief Filippo Grandi emphasized the need for a new approach to tackle this humanitarian emergency. He stressed that the current crisis facing Rohingya refugees has reached a critical level, requiring more effective and unified action for long-term solutions.
Grandi pointed out that ensuring the safe repatriation of the Rohingya community requires more than just diplomatic efforts; it demands stronger coordination among regional and global organizations. He also highlighted the importance of continued support from both local and international organizations, as well as the adoption of new and innovative policies to address the situation.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh’s Nobel laureate economist, Dr. Muhammad Yunus, has engaged in discussions with the International Criminal Court (ICC) to explore potential cooperation on the Rohingya crisis. The dialogue focused on how the ICC can play a more active role in bringing justice for the atrocities committed against the Rohingya population and holding perpetrators accountable for the genocide in Myanmar.
Dr. Yunus’ discussions with the ICC are seen as a significant step toward securing justice for the crimes inflicted on the Rohingya. This move is expected to draw further global attention to the Rohingya crisis and amplify efforts to ensure justice for the victims.
