Statement Thanking Bangladesh Government for Donation to The Gambia v. Myanmar Ongoing International Court of Justice Legal Case
December 2nd, 2020
Dear Honourable High Commissioner for Bangladesh to Canada, Mr. Mizanur Rahman;
CC: Dr. Mohammad Javed Patwary, Bangladesh Permanent Representative to the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC),
Justice For All Canada expresses our appreciation for the generous contribution of the Bangladesh Government to The Gambia’s ongoing ICJ legal case that challenges Myanmar’s genocide of Rohingya Muslims.
Thank you for courageously emphasizing the importance of the dignified, safe repatriation of displaced Rohingya refugees during the 47th session of the Islamic Council of Foreign Ministers.
“We were pleased to learn of the OIC’s actions to open a dedicated fundraiser account for this important case. We endorse Bangladesh’s plea that calls upon OIC member states to contribute financial support in this crucial humanitarian initiative for stateless and displaced Rohingya refugees,” said Taha Ghayyur, Executive Director of Justice For All Canada.
We at Justice For All Canada are a nonprofit, non-governmental human rights and advocacy organization challenging global persecution of religious and ethnic minorities. In Canada, we’ve made immense progress in increasing education, awareness and mobilization on behalf of Rohingya experiencing persecution and human rights violations.
Our activist leadership around the issue of Rohingya human rights has led to Canadian government policies and funding to help empower displaced Rohingya with life-saving provision and shelter.
Through our Rohingya-focused campaign, Burma Task Force, we’ve also influenced federal-level action calling for accountability of Myanmar officials involved in the discriminatory violence and gender-based crimes of Rohingya communities.
“We believe The Gambia’s case in the ICJ establishes historic precedent for global leadership to fulfill their international obligations and demand accountability for crimes against humanity,” explained Ghayyur, adding:
“We thank Bangladesh for calling upon the global community to stand against violent discrimination by uniting under shared values of protecting vulnerable peoples without agency or recognition”.
