To raise the plight of the Rohingya as a priority in the eyes of the international community, populations, and leaders.
To provide food, shelter, healthcare, including maternity provision and to restore dignity to the displaced Rohingya community.
To move the response from a provisional, temporary response by private actors and affected governments to an enduring commitment to provide permanent, institutional response from the international community, acting in concert.
Efforts to ease the humanitarian situation of the Rohingya should be seen not as an end, but as the first step of a journey towards a long-term political settlement which enables the Rohingya people to live in safety, peace, and due national and international political representation. For this, we believe that the recommendations of Kofi Annan's Rakhine Commission form a sound basis.
