The UN has described the Rohingya as the most persecuted minority in the world.

China and Russia blocked a proposed UN Security Council (UNSC) statement on Friday that would have expressed concern over the tense situation in Myanmar's Rakhine state, diplomats said. Myanmar's military carried out a four-month offensive against the Muslim Rohingya in northern Rakhine state that UN human rights investigators have said likely resulted in atrocities and crimes against humanity.
