Jan-18-2014 12:56TweetFollow @OregonNews OIC's Response to Rohingya Massacre in South Maungdaw (English and French)Salem-News.comThe Secretary General urged the government of Myanmar to adhere to the framework it agreed to, to enforce the rule of law and to keep it's assurances to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms.
(RIYADH, Saudi Arabia) - Iyad Ameen Madani, the Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the OIC, expressed deep concern regarding the recent events of 14th January, 2014 in which looting, raping and killing of Rohingya Muslim civilian citizens in southern Maungdaw, Rakhine State took place. These events, stressed The Secretary General, violate the basic rights of the Rohingya Muslims to be protected as citizens and as a minority by their own government. They also represent a grave violation of Myanmar's government international commitments to protect civilians; as well as breaking the statements signed between the OIC's ministerial Contact group and Myanmar authorities during the group's visit from 14 to 16 November 2013. The Secretary General urged the government of Myanmar to adhere to the framework it agreed to, to enforce the rule of law and to keep it's assurances to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms. Madani also called on the political leaders of Myanmar, specially those who claim the high moral ground, to exercise their influence for the sake of peace, tolerance and community reconciliation. Communiqué de presseLe Secrétaire général de l’Organisation de la Coopération Islamique (OCI), Iyad Amin Madani, a exprimé sa profonde inquiétude concernant les récents événements qui ont eu lieu le 14 janvier 2014 au sud de Maungdaw, dans l’Etat de Rakhine, durant lesquels des citoyens civils musulmans Rohingya ont été la cible d’actes de pillage, de viol et d’assassinat. Le Secrétaire général a estimé que ces événements constituent une violation des droits fondamentaux des musulmans Rohingya, censés jouir de la protection de leur propre gouvernement en tant que citoyens et minorité. Ils constituent également une violation grave des engagements internationaux du gouvernement de Myanmar en matière de protection de civils, ainsi qu’une violation des déclarations signées entre le Groupe Ministériel de contact de l’OCI et les autorités de Myanmar au cours de la visite qu’avait effectué le Groupe dans ce pays du 14 au 16 novembre 2013. Le Secrétaire général a exhorté le gouvernement de Myanmar à adhérer au Cadre qu’il avait accepté, visant à faire respecter la primauté du droit, et à honorer ses engagements en matière de respect des droits de l’homme et des libertés fondamentales. Madani a, par ailleurs, appelé les leaders politiques de Myanmar, en particulier ceux jouissant de la plus haute considération morale, à user de leur influence pour favoriser et renforcer la paix, la tolérance et la réconciliation communautaire.
