联合国大会星期一一致通过决议,敦促缅甸给予陷入困境的罗兴亚少数族裔公民权和平等权利。

决议对缅甸虐待大多是穆斯林的罗兴亚少数族裔深表关切。

大约14万罗兴亚人目前被困在缅甸若开邦拥挤肮脏的难民营里。2012年6月以来,那里的教派骚乱已导致280人死亡。

缅甸不承认罗兴亚族的存在。很多当地居民和政府官员称他们是来自孟加拉国的非法移民。

联合国决议敦促缅甸准许罗兴亚人拥有完整的公民身份,准许其自我认定为罗兴亚人而不是缅甸政府所说的孟加拉人。

联合国决议还要求缅甸向罗兴亚人提供“平等机会”服务,准许他们在政府的保护下返回自己的社区。

The United Nations General Assembly has passed a resolution urging Myanmar to grant citizenship and equal rights to the country's beleaguered Rohingya minority.

In a resolution passed by consensus on Monday, the General Assembly expressed "serious concern" at Myanmar's treatment of the mostly Muslim minority group.

Around 140,000 Rohingya are stuck in filthy, overcrowded camps in Rakhine state, where sectarian unrest has left up to 280 people dead in since June, 2012.

Myanmar, also known as Burma, does not recognize the existence of the Rohingya ethnicity. Many locals and government officials instead say they are illegal migrants from Bangladesh.

The U.N. resolution urged members of the group to be granted "full citizenship" and be allowed to self-identify as Rohingya and not Bengali, as the government insists.

It also called on Myanmar to provide Rohingya with "equal access" to services and to allow the group to return to their communities with the protection of the government.
