Security Council Open Debate on Sexual Violence in Conflict, April 2018: Myanmar (Extract 4)

Extract:

Myanmar strongly objects the use of such words as "ethnic cleansing" or "genocide" in reference to the situation in Rakhine State. Such irresponsible accusations based on unsubstantiated, one-sided allegations, fake news and tempered reports for political purpose, will only exacerbate the current situation and will lead to further polarization of different communities in the region.
