The government is deeply concerned about the situation in Rakhine State and condemns the human rights abuses that have occurred. Australia regularly raises concerns directly with the Myanmar government. Australia has supported resolutions of the Human Rights Council in the United Nations General Assembly calling for accountability, humanitarian access and implementation of the recommendations of Kofi Annan's advisory commission. We have responded generously to the Rohingya crisis, providing $70 million in humanitarian assistance since September 2017. Australia is working with the international community on long-term solutions for the Rohingya, including repatriation. Any returns of displaced Rohingya must be safe, voluntary and dignified. The government will respond to the United Nations fact-finding mission's final report once it is handed down in September.
