Since 25th August 2017, approximately 600,000 Rohingya people residing in Rakhine State have fled their homes. They continue to be subjected to horrendous acts of genocide perpetrated by officials of Myanmar\u2019s ruling military <\/span>junta<\/em><\/span><\/i>. It is urgent to heed the perspectives and narratives of those who have endured and survived this event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Amidst the exacerbation of dire living circumstances in the camps caused by incidents such as fires, floods, and the COVID-19 pandemic, the Rohingya community have begun expressing their perspectives on comprehensive solutions. The international community has made <\/span>significant contributions in the pursuit of international justice<\/span><\/a> through different instruments such as the International Court of Justice. However, in collaboration with the communities facing direct crises, there is a need to deepen efforts towards formulating and implementing solutions advocated by individuals who have experienced traumas first-hand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n One step towards justice and healing can include community-led efforts to preserve the truth of what happened, and to make those accounts available in appropriate ways for accountability in the near-term, and for Rohingya collective memory and historical record in the longer-term.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Archiving helps to ensure valuable information is not lost and is well preserved. It also enables this information to be accessible in the future. The<\/span> Rohingya Genocide Archive<\/span><\/a> (RGA) focuses on memorialising as well as collecting evidentiary documentation of the terrible atrocities perpetrated on the Rohingya people for justice and accountability. It was established in 2018 through a partnership between<\/span> Rohingya Vision<\/span><\/a> and WITNESS, and launched publicly in August 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
