A fact-finding mission of ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights (APHR) on the Rohingya crisis completes its mission on Wednesday through sharing their findings and placing recommendations.

In the midst of proposed repatriation of Rohingyas to Myanmar, lawmakers from ASEAN countries have come to Bangladesh to assess the situation, potential regional responses, and what is needed to push their governments and the wider international community into action, reports the UNB.

Current and former parliamentarians from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia will attend the event and share their experience.

During the mission, MPs have visited the refugee camps around Cox’s Bazar and met with a wide variety of stakeholders, including from the Parliament and government, said an official.

APHR Chairperson and Malaysian MP Charles Santiago, Singaporean MP Louis Ng, former Thai MP Rachada Dhnadirek and former Indonesian MP Lena Maryana Mukti are among the members of the team.

The lawmakers will share their observations from the mission, as well as recommendations for what ASEAN and regional governments can do to address the crisis and promote sustainable long-term solutions that respect the rights of Rohingya refugees.
