    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 Burmas 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 ofsocial 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 forwhom 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 dont have actual advocates at all.
