End military operations against Rohingyas: UNGA tells Myanmar

UN General Assembly's human rights committee on Thursday approved a resolution calling on Myanmar's authorities to end military operations against Rohingyas, ensure their voluntary return from Bangladesh and grant them full citizenship rights. <br/><br/>The resolution said there has been a disproportionate and sustained use of force by Myanmar's security forces against the Rohingyas in Rakhine State. <br/><br/>It also expresses grave concern at the reports of human rights violations and calls on Myanmar to grant access for a U.N. fact-finding mission and humanitarian access to aid. <br/><br/>The resolution now goes to the 193-member General Assembly for a final vote in December.
