Description:
"WE, the Union Enterprise for Humanitarian Assistance,
Resettlement and Development in Rakhine
(UEHRD), categorically reject the allegations in the
recent report (A/HRC/42/CRP.3 “The economic interests
of the Myanmar military”, 5 August 2019) released
by the Fact-Finding Mission (FFM). The report alleges
that UEHRD, its Task Forces and projects contributed
to “the commission of crimes under international law”
and “consolidated the consequences of war crimes,
crimes against humanity and acts of genocide.”
From its inception, UEHRD’s objectives were
to provide effective humanitarian aid, to coordinate
resettlement and rehabilitation efforts, and to promote
conflict resolution and durable peace for all communities
in Rakhine. We have never wavered in our
pursuit of humanitarian objectives and have worked
consistently to improve conditions on the ground
for the relief, dignified return, and resettlement of
conflict-affected communities and displaced persons.
The FFM paints a distorted picture of the UEHRD
which was established to address the complex issues
of Rakhine.
We shall continue to strive for viable, inclusive
and durable solutions that will enable communities
and inhabitants in Rakhine to live in peace, harmony
and dignity, and to realize a safe and vibrant future.
About UEHRD
UEHRD is a partnership mechanism aimed at
enabling the government, multi-sectoral stakeholders,
concerned citizens, and international partners,
to collaborate and coordinate in efforts to achieve our
common goal: sustainable development and prosperity
for Rakhine that all communities may live together in
harmony and security.
We strive for a just, inclusive and harmonious
society rooted in human rights and human dignity. We
embrace the shared values of a common humanity,
empowerment for all, and commitment to peace and
prosperity together with our partners and stakeholders..."
