The UN’s outgoing human rights envoy for Myanmar says the country’s leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has failed to live up to her reputation as a humanitarian.
Her time in the role has been especially dominated by Myanmar’s crackdown in Rakhine State in 2017.
About 750,000 people, mostly Rohingya Muslims, fled across the border to Bangladesh.
Now Yanghee Lee has told Al Jazeera that she believes Myanmar’s army conducted ethnic cleansing and that Suu Kyi’s inaction was “utterly disappointing”.
The government and army have denied the accusation.

UN is no more capable platform for humans.
Myanmar made many Islamic states who made Islam as their state religion and made religious racism legal in their constitution secular
This woman is a fraud to humanity. She is using the covid19 as a political weapon against those refugees. She needs sanctions. Sheep in wolves clothing. She need to be charged for crimes against humanity. Its terrible to such an individual living in the 21 century. What a shame
UN big Storong dicigen Myanmar
Please take action against this woman soon
And than they wonder how terrorism begins 🤦♂️
Noble prize winner for terrorism
Haris M I نعم
aang san not responsible it is ming aang hlain. though i will say that the rohinyga are actually bengali not entitled to citizenship.
This woman from UN is obviously useless. Having her in this position is completely waste of UN’ money. She doesn’t really know what is going on. If she did she would be saying a different story. All the neighbouring countries are fully aware of the real situation but sadly not this UN woman. Evidently, she is not doing her job well.
Rahingya belongs to Bangladesh.
Biswajit Haflongbar Correct
No it is your country people
💯 agree
If bd wants we can independent some myanmar state.. we can help arakan army & some rohingya.. But still we are waiting for myanmar actions.Bcz myanmar said there are still fighting in their cointry.But we have options.
Bangladesh should take step to make rakhaine independent.
@mashrur sadaf yep..got that
@Shah Alam Chowdhury Why not Pakistan
@Gatekeeper Pakistan is not affected but Bangladesh has been affected directly by this rohinga problem. So it is a headache of Bangladesh. This mayanmer action is kind of war against Bangladesh.
@Shah Alam Chowdhury Of course, after all Rohengyas are from BD
😭😭😭😭
Aung San Su Kyi is the mother of Myanmar. No one can slam her
Zay Ya 💩
You just have to understand, it’s the Rohinga! If you see them as not actually human, it makes a big difference. I guess.Was it ethnic cleansing? Well, Myanmar killed a million Rohinga, so I think we should say that we can’t really say? I can say. Genocide is genocide, a million killed for their religious beliefs is genocide.
it’s more like a few thousand. A million is the number of people that fled to Bangladesh.
Don’t worry, leave them alone to enjoy the fake news. And they have never been outside of their country.
Suu Kyi is Hyena in sheeps clothing.
Yan Hee Lee is jealous of Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. She is not able to produce any hard evidence against anything to say like this. Just hearsay only.
The World kept silent while 1 million of Tutsis in Rwanda were systematically massacred and countries actually withdrew their peacekeepers. Europeans preferred to run with their dogs & cats instead of rescuing people who were begging to be saved. After genocide those who ran away came back to teach us about human rights. They came singing *Never Again to Genocide* and we kind of believed them. However, they have continued to disappoint us now and then. It’s so sad that the UN is silent about the genocide being perpetrated against the Rohingya People. The UN has always been a toothless lion..
The rohingyas are not innocent bystanders here they are the main problem here .Go see what these Rohingyas have doing there to locals.
Aung San Suu Kyi is the two faced snake which was previously unknown to the world. Now world knows who she is.
Seems the Yathrib formula is in action again.
Yes
You have no idea 😂. Shame on you.
Aung saan su kyi is great woman……..
As you sow(Extremism) so shall you reap(Massacre)…..
Will UN raise same voice against Syrian refugees.. Just bcoz Myanmar small UN can’t bulldoze.. Not justifying roganya crisis., but UN should be for all & even,, that’s not the same in most cases. Will you take about CCP uyirgar in China
UN human rights organisation is a disgrace, we r disappointing with the UN, just talking finished to justify your pay. Let the people of the countries decide their leaders. U can’t go back because u r biased. UN human rights get out of Myanmar. Hope the rich countries stop contributing to the UN
Take back peace award from her
The Noble Peace price shouldn’t exist or at list be given postmortem
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Nasrul Sk 🇮🇳 is the rape capital of the world, shocking when you look at the figures. Something is seriously wrong in your culture.
Take stern action.
UN has failed in almost every aspect, purpose and noble intention of global Peace. It’s been 73 years they failed in resolving Kashmir issue.
What kashmir issue it is part of India.
exactly.
This woman UN didn’t experienced their country’s land is illigaly occupied.
Yanheelee made this statement for ICJ
When the burmese reborned as rohingya next lifes they will know the results.
You have no idea what’s going on in our country.
She was looking for power only phony woman they kill so many people unbelievable and she won Nobel prize rotten power only
THE CRUEL PEOPLE AND THINK THEY WILL LIVE HERE FOREVER. BUT THEY WILL SUFFER IN JAHANNUM. T
Does the UN fail?
Palestine issue?
Kashmir issue?
Rohinga issue?
Indian Muslim issue?
Hong kong issue?
And many more…
Syed Jahangir ,No Muslim countries FAILED to Support
Al jazeera talking about human rights is like Mia Khalifa talking about virginity
Do something. Allaha.
The UN is a useless organization. Aung san suu kyi is in a difficult situation because she does not have the power over the military, at all. If she speaks too harshly against their evil actions, there is a possibility for a coup d’etat.
💯 agree. ASSK told her in her last visit to Myanmar. When she got back, she neglected everything and started blaming ASSK and all Myanmar people. As she is a lier, We don’t want to see her anymore. It’s enough. She is just trying to keep her high pay job at UN by blaming our poor country with so many problems on its own.
YANHEE LEE you always talk talk and never solved the problem
You don’t think one boy from that 700k won’t go on a shooting spree or plant a bomb when he grows up?
Yanhee Lee is a lier. ASSK told her the situation in her last visit to Myanmar. We people told her what’s happening actually while she’s visiting in the country. When she got back, she neglected everything and started blaming ASSK and all Myanmar people. As she is a lier, We don’t want to see her anymore. It’s enough. She is just trying to keep her high pay job at UN by blaming our poor country with so many problems on its own.
UN Envoy cited reports… has she ever been there., or understand the political situation in Myanmar? Talk! Talk! Talk! That’s all UN Envoys do. No action!
