Back on July 1, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's Partners' Group on Myanmar met in UN Conference Room 8. ICP asked Ban's spokesman Stephane Dujarric about Myanmar's new Ambassador saying the term Royingya shouldn't be used, and minimizing the Muslim group's problems. On July 5, Ban is scheduled to publicly greet and accept credentials from this new Ambassador - hours after, from Geneva, UN High Commission for Human Rights issued this:
"We are alarmed by two major acts of mob violence directed against Myanmar’s Muslim community in the space of just eight days. Last Friday, a mob burned down a mosque in Hpakant Township in Kachin State and a week earlier, on 23 June, another mob attacked and partially destroyed a mosque and other properties in a village called Thaye Thamain, in Bago Region.
