Promise 59: To lead efforts to resolve the Rohingya and Palestine

crises

When faced with the Rohingya and Palestinian crises, UMNO and

Barisan Nasional could only watch the situation unfold and have not taken

any concrete steps or specific action to ensure the voices of our oppressed

brothers and sisters are heard.

In fact, the present government continue to refrain from ratifying the

International Convention on Refugees that will enable us to help our

brothers more meaningfully.

The Pakatan Harapan Government will address the efforts of regional

countries to resolve the Rohingya conflict which has rocked Myanmar to

reach an international solution with stronger voices, not merely by

organising half-hearted protests for short-term political benefits.

The Pakatan Harapan government will make serious attempts to ensure the

Palestinian plight is addressed at the OIC and UN levels to achieve a long-

lasting solution to the decades-old crisis.

The Pakatan Harapan Government will also ratify the 1951 International

Convention on Refugees so that refugees who escape from war-torn

countries and arrive in Malaysia are given proper assistance
