Thousands from this community were killed in widespread violence that also forced 742,000 Muslims to flee Myanmar to neighboring Bangladesh spare themselves brutal attacks.
According to latest statistics by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), there are more than one million Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar, a port city in southeastern Bangladesh.
Ambassador Al-Otaibi affirmed necessity that the Security Council and the international community continue to advise Myanmar that it must implement the relevant UNSC Presidential Statement and recommendations of Kofi Annan's Advisory Panel on Rakhine State.
