On the occasion of your visit to Thailand during June 23-25, we, the Coalition for the Rights of Refugees and Stateless Persons – composed of academic institutions and civil society organisations in Thailand dedicated to providing support to refugees and stateless people, and researching the issue of migration into Thailand, particularly the Rohingya from Myanmar and Bangladesh – would like to make the following recommendations to Her Excellency as the state counsellor and foreign minister of Myanmar:
1. Revise the 1982 Myanmar Citizenship Law to address statelessness of the Rohingya ethnic population and to reinstate nationality to Rohingya who used to be bestowed with the Myanmar nationality prior to the enforcement of the law.
2. Allow international organisations access to provide humanitarian assistance in the control areas for the Rohingya in Rakhine State who have been deprived of human rights and access to basic services. (Courtesy of mmtimes.com)
