The European Union (EU) has reiterated its solidarity with the Rohingya and Bangladeshi people. The EU participated in a briefing for the international community in Dhaka led by the Assistant High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Rauf Mazou on the eighth anniversary of the Rohingya crisis. It described the briefing as “important and inspiring”.
The EU also participated in the Stakeholder Dialogue held in Cox’s Bazar and said that ensuring the empowerment and representative voice of the Rohingya is one of the priorities on the path to a sustainable solution.
As part of its political and humanitarian commitments, the EU is working to ensure humanitarian assistance, development financing and accountability for human rights violations in the Rohingya crisis. It has also maintained sanctions against those responsible for the crisis.
However, the EU has made it clear that this crisis cannot be solved alone – it is a humanitarian catastrophe that demands collective efforts and coordinated action by the international community.
