GENEVA, July 6: The State of Kuwait Thursday called on Thomas Andrews, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, to review the practical steps he made to address the causes of Muslims' crisis, Rohingya, to reach a fair and sustainable solution. This came in Kuwait's speech delivered by Diplomatic Attache Rashed Al-Abhoul before the UN Human Rights Council, as part of the interactive dialogue on situation in Myanmar.

The State of Kuwait welcomes the initiative of relocating those vulnerable refugees in Bangladesh, as a good step to face the forcible unprecedented displacement of large numbers all over the world due to war and oppression, Al-Abhoul said. In this regard, Kuwait commended efforts and endeavors of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Bangladesh's government and the US to facilitate dealing with those refugees, he said.
Al-Abhoul further extolled efforts of Andrews aiming to highlight situation of human rights in Myanmar through monitoring human rights 'violations' in that country.

Meanwhile, Al-Abhoul praised the positive outcomes of Andrews' visit to Kuwait last month, stating that it came in line with Kuwait's desire to contribute to enhancing and protecting human rights through its support to the UN Human Rights Council. (KUNA) -
