Although any definitive finding should be made by an appropriate tribunal, my Office considers that acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing may have occurred," UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra`ad al Hussein said

Zeid Ra`ad al Hussein added that in addition to violating the Rohingya ethnicity in Rakhine, the Government of Myanmar also refused to grant citizenship, legal status and birth certificates to the Rohingya in Rakhine which has implications for the loss of their rights as citizens of Myanmar.
