That the Parliament notes with grave concern the plight of the Rohingya minority of Myanmar; understands that tens of thousands of people have fled their homes and that 87,000 Rohingya refugees have travelled to Bangladesh since 25 August 2017, with about 20,000 more gathered at the border waiting to enter; considers it crucial that aid and monitoring from international organisations be reinstated after reports from the UN refugee agency, UNICEF, Oxfam and Save the Children that they were being denied access to the conflict area, and calls for attention to be paid and a resolution sought to human rights abuses wherever they occur in the world.
