The United Nations says about 600,000 Rohingya Muslims who remain in Myanmar are systematically under threat of political prosecution and genocide.

According to the statement, Myanmar has failed to fulfill its obligation to prevent a genocide, to investigate whether genocide has occurred, and to enact effective laws imposing penalties for genocide.

The U.N. says the return of Rohingyas fleeing Myanmar to the country is not possible in current circumstances.

Studies conducted by the Human Rights Council in 2017 under its mission to reach cases in Myanmar concluded that the Myanmar army had committed genocide and called for the trial of the generals in charge of Buddhist gangs.

So far, 740,000 Arakanese Muslims have fled their burned villages and sought refuge in Bangladesh. Reports of massacres, rape, and torture are still on the UN agenda.

The report also said that Myanmar authorities continue to deny the charges and destroy evidence and that new settlements have been built on the land where the Arakanese were deported and Buddhists have been placed in order to prevent future investigations.

The UN's Myanmar research team is calling on the UN Security Council to prosecute the International War Crimes Tribunal (ICC) over what happened in Myanmar, just as it did in Yugoslavia and Rwanda.

According to the report, experts conducting investigations have a list of 100 names, including state officials, soldiers suspected of involvement in the genocide.
