Statement on World Day of Social Justice

Every year 20th February is marked as world day of social justice in all over the
world, which was set forth by the United Nations General Assembly.

10 years later, it was reviewed by the World Summit for Social Development of
Copenhagen Declaration and Program of Action (CDPA) and that was celebrated as
first time in the year 2009.

In the year 1995, more than 100 world leaders took in a process in order to bring an
end of poverty ad to ensure full working rights for all, while aiming to establish
stability, security, social justice in the states.

But, the fate of the Rohigya Arakanese indigenous people of Burma’s Arakan State
remain in sub-human condition and constant threats to suppression in one of the
important members of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Such suffering of the minority Rohingya Arakanese are well documented by the
international community as these Rohingya Arakanese are in totally deprivation of
social justice in all aspects, which is not only Burma but also in neighboring countries
where they refuge as almost these states are not party to the UN Convention
Relating to the status of refugees or its additional protocol.

Though, the Rohingya Arakanese are recognized as refugees by the office of the
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), their social justice is
totally undermined by certain types of legal frameworks.

It is therefore, appeal to the International Community and all concerned quarters,

particularly the UNHCR to take necessary measure to ensure the social justice of
the Rohingya Arakanese refugees by registering all undocumented refugees for
whom the data was submitted by the Genuine Rohingya Arakanese Refugee
Committee and that will assist to bring an end of the long-standing plight of these
unfortunate people.

We also appeal to the Government of Malaysia and other states where the Rohingya
Arakanese refugee take shelter, to advocate the cause to proper place on
humanitarian ground as the Rohingya Arakanese don’t have actual advocates at all.
