May 17, 2013
UNITED NATIONS -- Muslim nations at the UN will look into measures to highlight the plight of the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar, making a solemn effort to bring the subject to the General Assembly, Permanent Representative of Egypt to the United Nations, Mootaz Ahmadein Khalil said.
In his letter to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and President of the UN General Assembly Vuk Jeremic late Thursday, Khalil said that Muslim nations around the globe condemned the heinous acts perpetrated against the Rohingyas, stressing that the international community should act swiftly to end those people's suffering.
Muslim countries are contemplating a step to present a draft-resolution to the upcoming meeting of the General Assembly if the plight of the Muslim Rohingya continued, said Khalil.
He hoped that in the upcoming period, the situation of the Muslim Rohingyas would become better, urging the UN to take some serious to solve the matter.
