Rohingya are largest group, omitted from Myanmar citizens list

By Stephanie Nebehay

GENEVA, Nov 3 (Reuters) – An estimated 10 million people worldwide are stateless, including three million officially, a status that deprives them of an identity, rights, and often jobs, the United Nations refugee agency said on Friday.

Muslim Rohingyas in Buddhist-majority Myanmar form the world’s biggest stateless minority, with some 600,000 having fled violence and repression since late August and taken refuge in Bangladesh, it said.

In a report, “This is Our Home” – Stateless Minorities and their Search for Citizenship”, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) called on governments to end the discriminatory practice by 2024. Tiếp tục đọc “World’s 3 million stateless deserve nationality -UNHCR” →
