He and his team have called on Burma to take the appropriate actions to end this cycle of violence, this cycle of radicalization. The entire Rohingya community is counting on us--the world--to notice and to act. We must immediately see an end to the violence, full access for humanitarian organizations, cooperation with and access for the United Nations fact finding mission, the safe return of refugees, and the implementation of the full set of recommendations from Kofi Annan's report. It is also critical that the United States and the international community continue to shed light on this horrific problem, provide sustained aid and support to the refugees in Burma and in Bangladesh, and take action to show other repressive governments that there will be consequences for pursuing this type of persecution, starting with a strong U.N. Security Council resolution. International action to end this violence, increase humanitarian assistance, and extend our aid to the Rohingya people is the right thing to do.
