Holy See appeals for international action to enable Rohingya return

Cardinal Pietro Parolin urged the international community not to forget hundreds of thousands of Rohingya who continue to suffer statelessness and inhumane conditions. He said their situation has endured "for more than 90 years" (as stated in the speech) and called for measures that would allow their safe, legal, voluntary and unhindered return to their homeland.

Parolin framed the Rohingya crisis as a fundamental violation of human dignity and urged states and international organizations to work toward durable solutions that ensure rights and protections for this population. He called the international community to create the conditions in the Rohingya homeland necessary for returns and full restoration of rights.
