Washington (19 de diciembre de 2018) \u2013 Los senadores Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) y Jeff Merkley ( D-Ore.) present\u00f3 hoy una resoluci\u00f3n bipartidista que destaca los horribles actos de violencia contra el pueblo rohingya en Birmania. Al subrayar la crisis humanitaria en curso que sigui\u00f3 a la brutal represi\u00f3n de los elementos de seguridad birmanos en las comunidades rohingya en 2017, la resoluci\u00f3n pide al secretario de Estado Mike Pompeo que determine si estos cr\u00edmenes constituyen genocidio. A principios de este mes, el Grupo de Pol\u00edticas y Derecho Internacional P\u00fablico public\u00f3 un informe que detalla las atrocidades y pide tribunales para los responsables del genocidio. Y un informe de agosto de las Naciones Unidas encontr\u00f3 que el ej\u00e9rcito de Myanmar llev\u00f3 a cabo asesinatos en masa y violaciones en grupo de rohingyas con "intenci\u00f3n genocida" y defendi\u00f3 el enjuiciamiento de su comandante en jefe y cinco generales seg\u00fan el derecho internacional. La administraci\u00f3n Trump a\u00fan tiene que etiquetar los cr\u00edmenes contra los rohingya como genocidio, en lugar de llamarlo \u201climpieza \u00e9tnica\u201d.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cMientras celebramos el 70 aniversario de la Convenci\u00f3n sobre Genocidio, debemos reconocer que las atrocidades que contin\u00faan en Birmania cumplen con la definici\u00f3n de genocidio. Sin embargo, la voz de Estados Unidos ha guardado silencio sobre este tema\u201d, dijo el senador Markey<\/b>. \u201cEsta resoluci\u00f3n demuestra que el Senado de los Estados Unidos est\u00e1 totalmente comprometido con la defensa de los derechos y la dignidad de las minor\u00edas perseguidas, la rendici\u00f3n de cuentas por las acciones del ej\u00e9rcito birmano y la promoci\u00f3n de la paz y las libertades democr\u00e1ticas para el pueblo birmano. No podemos permitir que Estados Unidos vuelva a ser un espectador global mientras contin\u00faa ocurriendo un genocidio\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cEstados Unidos no puede abandonar su liderazgo mundial en la defensa de los derechos humanos, la dignidad y la responsabilidad\u201d, dijo el Senador Cardin.<\/b> \u201cLas atrocidades cometidas contra los rohingya claramente equivalen a genocidio, como lo document\u00f3 el Museo Conmemorativo del Holocausto de los Estados Unidos y varias otras agencias internacionales de investigaci\u00f3n de derechos humanos. Instamos a esta administraci\u00f3n a investigar y evaluar exhaustivamente los cr\u00edmenes cometidos contra los rohingya para llegar a una determinaci\u00f3n de genocidio y promover el respeto por los derechos humanos y la responsabilidad del pueblo rohingya\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cLa bien documentada campa\u00f1a de atrocidades cometidas contra el pueblo rohingya en el estado de Rakhine parece haber sido premeditada y coordinada por las fuerzas militares y de seguridad birmanas, y la comunidad internacional deber\u00eda condenarla por lo que fue: genocidio. Cientos de miles de personas han huido a Bangladesh en medio de horrendos actos de violencia y amenazas de violencia, y estos refugiados llevan consigo historias inimaginables de crueldad y depravaci\u00f3n\u201d. dijo el Senador Collins.<\/b> \u201cNuestra resoluci\u00f3n bipartidista, que insta a la Administraci\u00f3n a tomar una determinaci\u00f3n sobre si estos cr\u00edmenes constituyen genocidio, ayudar\u00eda a obtener una presi\u00f3n internacional continua sobre el ej\u00e9rcito y el gobierno birmanos\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cEl ej\u00e9rcito y las fuerzas de seguridad birmanas han perpetrado cr\u00edmenes horribles contra el pueblo rohingya\u201d, dijo el senador Merkley.<\/b> \u201cLas historias que escuch\u00e9 en los campos de refugiados rohingya de sobrevivientes de este genocidio quedar\u00e1n grabadas en mi mente por el resto de mi vida. Le debemos a esos sobrevivientes y a los cientos de miles de otros rohingyas oprimidos que permanecen en el estado de Rakhine lanzar un s\u00f3lido esfuerzo internacional para hacer que los responsables rindan cuentas por sus cr\u00edmenes. Estados Unidos deber\u00eda estar a la cabeza, no a la zaga, en ese esfuerzo\u201d. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Se puede encontrar una copia de la resoluci\u00f3n. AQU\u00cd<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\nEsta resoluci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n destaca la importancia de imponer sanciones adicionales a los altos funcionarios birmanos c\u00f3mplices en la realizaci\u00f3n de la violencia. Alienta a Facebook y otras plataformas de redes sociales a contrarrestar el discurso de odio que fomenta la divisi\u00f3n \u00e9tnica en Birmania. La resoluci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n alienta a la administraci\u00f3n a mantener el liderazgo de Estados Unidos en la contribuci\u00f3n a la respuesta humanitaria que ha ayudado a los esfuerzos de Bangladesh para absorber a las 730.000 personas que huyeron de la violencia el a\u00f1o pasado. Finalmente, la resoluci\u00f3n pide al gobierno birmano que libere a Wa Lone y Kyaw Saw Oo, dos Reuters<\/i> periodistas que fueron condenados a principios de este a\u00f1o despu\u00e9s de informar sobre los abusos de los derechos humanos de los militares contra los rohingya.<\/p>\n
La presentaci\u00f3n de la resoluci\u00f3n bipartidista sigue a la aprobaci\u00f3n de una legislaci\u00f3n similar presentada por el Representante Steve Chabot (OH-01) que fue aprobada la semana pasada en la C\u00e1mara de Representantes con una votaci\u00f3n de 394 a 1. <\/p>\n
