Press Release

It is observed that the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has developed an external link of so-called “Rohingya Cultural Memory Centre”. The IOM and the Embassy of Bangladesh in the Hague also jointly organized an Online Art Exhibition, entitled “Art, Life, Rohingya”. In this connection, the Permanent Mission of Myanmar in Geneva made an objection to the IOM on 23 December 2021 as the creation of the said external link goes beyond the mandate and competence of the IOM which is not in a position to validate the false identity claimed by certain quarters. Myanmar steadfastly rejects the term “Rohingya” which has never existed in legal and historical records of the country and the people of Myanmar do not recognize it. Myanmar further rejects the erroneous and invented claims along with fictitious stories contained in the said external link.
