"Enduring threat of genocide...Routine dehumanisation of the Rohingya has led to them becoming a target for racism and violence. Official organisations in Myanmar repeatedly refuse to use the description "Rohingya" and instead refer to the Rohingya as "illegal Bengalis". In the nationwide elections held in November 2020, in which the share of the vote obtained by Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy - NLD - secured her party a majority in Parliament, almost all of the Rohingya were prevented or deterred from voting and therefore were effectively disenfranchised. Deprived of their fundamental right to citizenship, their selfdescription as "Rohingya" and recognition of their identity, the group remain under an everpresent threat of genocide. In order to prevent history from repeating itself, those responsible for the atrocities and crimes of genocide committed against the Rohingya and other minorities in Myanmar must be held accountable. The genocide case brought by the Gambia before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) requires the support of other countries in addition to the Netherlands, Canada, and Maldives. It is vitally important that other states recognise the status of the Rohingya and guarantee their protection as a group.....Access for essential humanitarian assistance denied...The fighting in Rakhine State and restricted access for essential humanitarian assistance, even during the current temporary ceasefire between the armed forces of Myanmar (the Tatmadaw) and the Arakan Army (AA), are a particular cause for concern. The humanitarian situation is dire. The Myanmar authorities have restricted access for humanitarian relief organisations in Rakhine State, preventing urgently-needed aid from reaching particularly vulnerable people. In the context of ongoing armed conflict and in particular the global COVID-19 pandemic, this is completely unacceptable.....Access to the internet blocked...Denial of access to the internet is threatening the lives and safety of local communities and exacerbating the already grave humanitarian crisis affecting the area. On 29 December 2020, the Myanmar Ministry of Transport and Communication ordered all mobile network operators in Myanmar to impose increasingly severe restrictions on internet access for 3G and 4G services in eight districts of Rakhine (Buthidaung, Rathedaung, Ponnagyun, MraukU, Kyauktaw, Minbya and Myabon) and Chin (Paletwa) States until 31 March 2021. This has left over a million people in Rakhine cut off from the Internet. Protests against the violence and disconnection from the Internet have been met with arrests, trials and convictions. The Ministry has ordered the websites of ethnic media outlets to be blocked..."
