"Mr President, let me begin by thanking colleagues from all political groups for their help in giving the tragic plight of Rohingya refugees the attention it deserves.
As legislators, it is our duty to denounce governments that are responsible, both directly and indirectly, for the current situation. Recent news is a testament to Myanmar’s appalling civil rights record and unworthy of a nation that is seeking to be part of the international community.
Firm action should be taken until Myanmar finally passes legislation that will help minorities in that country come out of the Middle Ages and into the 21st century. While Europe faces issues of its own closer to home, there is a common understanding that we have a moral responsibility when it comes to saving human lives. Myanmar’s neighbours should not beat around the bush but should fulfil their obligations under international maritime law to rescue Rohingya refugees."@en1
