UN RENEWS CALL FOR DIALOGUE BETWEEN DISPLACED PERSONS AND MYANMAR
AUTHORITIESNew York, Aug 13 2013 2:00PMThe United Nations refugee
agency today reiterated its call for dialogue between displaced
Muslims in Myanmar's Rakhine state and national authorities after
recent violent clashes left one man dead and 10 other people injured.

"UNHCR is reiterating its call for peaceful dialogue and confidence
building between the IDPs [internally displaced persons] and
Government. We believe this is key to avoiding further violence,"
Adrian Edwards, spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees
(UNHCR), told a <"http://www.unhcr.org/520a4fdb9.html">news conference
in Geneva.

The latest incident is reported to have started on Friday morning,
when a dead body was found in a creek near Ohn Taw Gyi IDP camp
outside Sittwe, the capital of Rakhine state.

The cause of death and the handling of the body erupted into a dispute
between a group of IDPs and the local police. This is believed to have
led to violent confrontations between the police and IDPs that led to
several injuries.

Mr. Edwards noted that the situation in the camps had calmed enough
yesterday to allow humanitarian work to resume. UNHCR is the lead
agency for shelter, camp coordination, camp management and protection
in the humanitarian response in Rakhine state. Its current priority is
to provide temporary relief for the displaced during the rainy season.

"Our teams are working with partners and the IDPs to strengthen camp
management and help establish reliable camp committees that can
mitigate any future tensions," the spokesperson said.

He added that "camp coordination and camp management activities are of
paramount importance to assist in ensuring constructive dialogue with
the authorities in order to prevent future incidents."

Some 140,000 people remain internally displaced in Rakhine state
following last year's inter-communal violence, according to UN agency
figures.

An additional 36,000 people in isolated areas and host communities in
the state have also been adversely affected, with little to no access
to work and basic services.Aug 13 2013 2:00PM
