Overview of Human Rights Violations Against Rohingya Ethnicity in Burma and Uighur Tribe in China in International Law Perspectives

Abstract

Since the inception of the Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 the acknowledgment of the human rights protection for each person has been arranged, so it is hoped that there is no violation of human rights and crimes in every country in the world. Every human being has the right to live peacefully and carry out every activity of religious beliefs without any oppression. But this does not happen to the Rohingya tribes of Burma and the Uyghur tribes of China. So far, various facts have shown that human rights violations have been held against them, both in sustaining life and in exercising their religious beliefs. Countries should give space and comfort to act as perpetrators of human rights crimes against them. The United Nations, ASEAN or other international organisations, as well as other countries cannot do much of the human rights abuses and humanitarian crimes. This paper will discuss how the international legal view of the human rights abuses is. The results showed that human rights violations against the Rohingya ethnicity and the Uyghur people had violated international law provisions. It should be a proven leader of the country with its policies to have committed human rights violations and humanitarian crimes could be judged international Criminal Court (ICC) as perpetrators of humanitarian crimes and could not be sheltered behind the country. Need the courage and firmness of the UN in addressing this if it still puts the law as a regulator of peace and Order of the world.

Children born of genocidal rape: What do we know about their experiences and needs?

“…Research in Rwanda and Bosnia and Herzegovina sheds light on the experience of the offspring born of rape, but relatively little research has been done to date and most of it is retrospective. Similar studies should be conducted in other settings where genocide and genocidal rape is ongoing (e.g., among the Rhohingya of Myanmar (Shalihah & Fiqri, 2020) with the possibility of prospective studies from an early age to expand the knowledge of the impacts of genocidal rape and to design effective interventions for these marginalized and highly vulnerable populations.…”

Abuse of Human Rights in Myanmar: An Urgent Appeal to Reinterpret the ASEAN Non-Interference Principle

“…Myanmar's deteriorating human rights situation is an impetus for ASEAN to awaken its slumbering diplomacy. Scholars and observers have conducted in-depth analyses of the ASEAN non-interference principle, which they view as a significant obstacle to this regional organization's ability to intervene significantly in Myanmar's human rights issue (Shalihah & Fiqri, 2020;Steinmüller, 2022). For observers to believe there has been criticism of ASEAN's indecisive measures following the military takeover and ensuing crackdown, ASEAN prefers to "wait and see if the military can stop the movement, and then return to regular operations" (Hui Ying Lee, 2021).…”

“…Nevertheless, the Myanmar government has declined to do so. Not to assume that ASEAN and its member states have taken no action in response to the Rohingya crisis (William Jones, 2017;Shalihah and Fiqri, 2020;Tobing, 2018). Amid the unresolved Rohingya human rights violations, a new human rights crisis erupted in Myanmar in February 2021 following the military's ouster of the elected civilian administration.…”
