Remembering the Rohingya Genocide
Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State
The ongoing humanitarian crisis and human rights abuses in Burma exacerbate difficulties faced by members of many of Burma’s ethnic and religious minority groups, and Rohingya in particular. The United States stands with the survivors of the Rohingya genocide and is committed to providing life-saving assistance to affected members of Rohingya communities and those affected by the crisis in Burma, Bangladesh, and the region. Over the past seven years, the United States has contributed nearly $2.4 billion in humanitarian assistance. We also conduct extensive documentation of the atrocities and abuses committed against Rohingya and all civilians.
Our support for the people of Burma in their aspirations for a democratic, inclusive, and peaceful future is unwavering, as are our calls on all parties to protect civilians from harm.
