Yale University Report on the Persecution of Rohingya

Read Full Yale University Report published in Oct 2015 on the Persecution of Rohingya.

ییل یونیورسٹی امریکا نے اکتوبر ٢٠١٥ میں روہنگیا مسلمانوں کی حالت زار پر یہ غیر جانبدار رپورٹ شائع کی اور ان پر ہونے والے ظلم کو اقوام متحدہ کی ڈیفینیشن کے مطابق جینو سائیڈ قرار دیا. یاد رہے یہ انسانیت کے خلاف سب سے بڑا .جرم ہے جس کے ثابت ہونے کے بعد دوسری اقوام پر مظلوم کی مدد لازم ہو جاتی ہے. یہ ایک قانونی تجزیہ ہے جو ییل لاء اسکول کے انٹرنیشنل رائٹس کلینک کے طلبہ نے کیا.  اس تجزیاتی اسٹڈی کے نتائج کے مطابق 

روہنگیا مسلمانوں کی حالت زار: 

The Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar’s Rakhine State have suffered serious and persistent human rights abuses. Myanmar authorities, security forces, police, and local Rakhine actors have engaged in widespread violence, acts of torture, arbitrary detention, rape, and other crimes causing serious physical and mental harm. The scale of these atrocities has increased precipitously since 2012. In the wake of the conflicts in 2012, the majority of Myanmar’s Rohingya have been confined to villages in northern Rakhine State or internally displaced persons camps. The conditions in both northern Rakhine State and the IDP camps are dire: Rohingya lack freedom of movement, access to food, clean drinking water, sanitation, medical care, work opportunities, and education. They live in conditions that appear to have been calculated to bring about their destruction. Page 64-65

کیا یہ ظلم و ستم جینوسائیڈ ہے؟

The acts committed against the Rohingya, individually and collectively, meet the criteria for finding acts enumerated in the Genocide Convention and have been perpetrated against a protected group. Whether the acts committed against Rohingya constitute genocide turns on the question of whether they were committed with the requisite intent to destroy, in whole or in part, the Rohingya group. Since few perpetrators of genocide express their intent in discoverable records, intent must be inferred from the totality of the perpetrators’ acts, including the context in which they were committed. There is strong evidence to justify such an inference of intent to destroy the Rohingya. Page 64-65

اقوام متحدہ کے کنونشن کی تین شقیں اسے جینوسائیڈ قرار دیتی ہیں.

This paper, therefore, finds strong evidence that the abuses against the Rohingya satisfy the three elements of genocide: that Rohingya are a group as contemplated by the Genocide Convention; that genocidal acts have been committed against Rohingya; and that such acts have been committed with the intent to destroy the Rohingya, in whole or in part. If a full and impartial investigation by an independent international authority substantiates and augments the evidence available to the Lowenstein Clinic for its analysis of the situation of the Rohingya, such a commission would likely conclude that genocide has been or is being committed against the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar’s Rakhine State.
