聯大決議促緬甸平等對待羅興亞少數族裔

The United Nations General Assembly has passed a resolution urging Myanmar to grant citizenship and equal rights to the country's beleaguered Rohingya minority.

聯合國大會星期一一致通過決議，敦促緬甸給予陷入困境的羅興亞少數族裔公民權和平等權利。

In a resolution passed by consensus on Monday, the General Assembly expressed "serious concern" at Myanmar's treatment of the mostly Muslim minority group.

決議對緬甸虐待大多是穆斯林的羅興亞少數族裔深表關切。

Around 140,000 Rohingya are stuck in filthy, overcrowded camps in Rakhine state, where sectarian unrest has left up to 280 people dead in since June, 2012.

大約14萬羅興亞人目前被困在緬甸若開邦擁擠骯髒的難民營裏。2012年6月以來，那裏的教派騷亂已導致280人死亡。

Myanmar, also known as Burma, does not recognize the existence of the Rohingya ethnicity. Many locals and government officials instead say they are illegal migrants from Bangladesh.

緬甸不承認羅興亞族的存在。很多當地居民和政府官員稱他們是來自孟加拉國的非法移民。

The U.N. resolution urged members of the group to be granted "full citizenship" and be allowed to self-identify as Rohingya and not Bengali, as the government insists.

聯合國決議敦促緬甸准許羅興亞人擁有完整的公民身份，准許其自我認定爲羅興亞人而不是緬甸政府所說的孟加拉人。

It also called on Myanmar to provide Rohingya with "equal access" to services and to allow the group to return to their communities with the protection of the government.

聯合國決議還要求緬甸向羅興亞人提供“平等機會”服務，准許他們在政府的保護下返回自己的社區。
