Addressing the Rohingya Genocide: What We Can & Must Do
December 22, 2017
Professor John Packer has remained engaged with Rohingyas since the early 90's, notably promoting awareness of their situation as the world's most numerous stateless people and helping the organisation of Rohingya representation and genuine articulation of their legitimate concerns outside Burma/Myanmar.
In 1993, Professor Packer was assistant to the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Burma during which he visited Rakhine State to investigate attacks on Rohingyas which had precipitated the 1992 exodus of some 200,000 refugees ten years after being stripped of their citizenship. Professor Packer has remained engaged with Rohingyas since then, notably promoting awareness of their situation as the world's most numerous stateless people and helping the organisation of Rohingya representation and genuine articulation of their legitimate concerns outside Burma/Myanmar.
