For Immediate Release
Date: 8 July 2023

The Rohingya Human Rights Center (RHRC) proudly welcomes and applauds the historic appointment of Aung Kyaw Moe as Deputy Minister in Myanmar’s National Unity Government (NUG). This significant milestone marks an inspiring step towards inclusivity, justice, and the recognition of Rohingya rights within Myanmar’s political landscape.

The appointment of Aung Kyaw Moe is a powerful demonstration of the NUG’s commitment to building an inclusive and representative governance system that acknowledges the dignity, rights, and aspirations of the Rohingya people. It sends a hopeful message to all marginalized communities in Myanmar that their voices matter and their contributions to a democratic future are valued.

The RHRC strongly urges the NUG to continue fostering meaningful engagement and ensure the active participation of Rohingya individuals in all decision-making processes. True and lasting peace can only be achieved when all communities are involved and empowered to shape the nation’s future.

We also call on the international community to recognize and support this important development. Global backing is crucial to encouraging further progress towards an inclusive, peaceful, and democratic Myanmar where equal rights, opportunities, and dignity are guaranteed for all citizens, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or background.

Together, through collective effort and unwavering commitment to human rights, we can build a future where every individual in Myanmar lives with freedom, justice, and hope.
