levin: i rise today to speak about the unspeakable suffering of the rohingya people. we must do all we can to shine a spotlight on their plight. last night the pbs news hour presented an hour-long documentary about the brutal campaign against the rohingyas, led by the burmese military. at times it became intolerable to continue to watch footages of young men being beaten, listen to the accounts of young girls and women being raped, and killed. and see human remains shoved into mass graves. the facts are well known. since august of last year, nearly 700,000 rohingya muslims have fled the violence in myanmar to neighboring bangladesh where they are being housed in deplorable conditions and face an uncertain future. some of the conversation lately has focused on returning the rohingya muslims to burma, resettling them to a remote island or some third country. however, i believe the most pressing conversation today must be for the burmese military and civilian government, led by aungaung, to confront the -- aung san suu kyi, to confront the issue head on. the burmese lead

under the age of 18. which is why they fled. in neighbouring bangladesh. aimed at exterminating the rohingyaple. birth after the sexual attacks last august.

issue of in the future how do you bring to justice those responsible for the crimes against the rohingyahat aung san suu kyi had made this guarantee that she would fully investigate what had happened. crucially, though, only if she was given the evidence. well, i think the best investigations in the circumstances are not... it doesn‘t matter if it is international or domestic as long as it is credible. i think that is the point. we would be ready to offer the burmese authorities independent investigators to help them if that is the road they choose to go down. but all of this now needs to be discussed with the burmese and council security colleagues. we also heard from the same ambassador that it could be the case in the future that the un security council discusses referring this to the international criminal court if there is not a proper investigation from the burmese themselves. and if that happens, they will then consider whether crimes against humanity have ta ken consider whether crimes against humanity have taken place. nick beake in myanmar. you‘re watching newsday on the bbc. s
