The Arakan Rohingya National Organisation (ARNO) extends profound gratitude to the United States Congress for the historic enact of the Rohingya Genocide Accountability and Protection (GAP) Act, commonly referred to as the Rohingya Act.This critical legislation marks a significant milestone in the quest for justice and support for the Rohingya community, who have faced unimaginable persecution and displacement.
The Rohingya Act is a powerful testament to compassion, human rights, and justice. It offers a holistic U.S. strategy to support Rohingya that includes protection efforts; engagement with the Rohingya community and stakeholders to facilitate safe, voluntary, and sustainable repatriation to Burma; developing a comprehensive transitional justice strategy; humanitarian assistance, including basic needs and access to livelihoods; programs to prevent and respond to gender-based violence and trafficking; and support for Rohingya civil society organizations.
We sincerely appreciate the bipartisan efforts of the lawmakers, advocacy groups, and individuals who have tirelessly championed our cause. Your dedication and unwavering support have brought renewed hope to our lives and have shown that our plight has not gone unnoticed.
This act will make a tangible difference in the lives of countless Rohingya, providing much-needed relief and a pathway to rebuilding our lives with dignity and security. It strengthens our resolve to continue striving for justice and peace in our community.
As we express our heartfelt thanks, we also pledge to work collaboratively with the global community to ensure that human rights are upheld and that no community faces the horrors of persecution and displacement.
Thank you for standing with us, and together, we can build a future rooted in justice, compassion, and humanity.
