UN special envoy and famous Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie on Tuesday said the people responsible for human rights violations must be held accountable for their actions.
She made the remark while briefing media in Cox’s Bazar after meeting the Rohingyas in Kutupalong camp.
Angelina also urged the Myanmar authorities to show the genuine commitment to end the cycle of violence, displacement, and improve the conditions for all communities in Rakhine State, including Rohingyas.
She laid emphasis on implementation of the recommendation of Rakhine Advisory Commission and working together with UNHCR and others.
Jolie, however, said Rohingyas cannot return to Myanmar at this time.
The famous actress visited different camps in the area and talked to Rohingyas on Monday as well and listened to their stories, as per a UNB report.
The actress arrived in Cox's Bazar on Monday morning to assess the humanitarian needs of the Rohingyas in her role as UNHCR special envoy.
She also assessed some of the more critical challenges facing Bangladesh as a host country, according to UNHCR, the UN refugee agency.
The special envoy will conclude her Bangladesh visit after holding official meetings with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen as well as other senior officials in Dhaka on Wednesday.
During the meetings, she will discuss how UNHCR can best support the current response led by the Bangladesh government, along with the need for safe and sustainable solutions to the plight of one of the world's most persecuted minorities, UNHCR said.
