Generation Students Group.1492 The Chair of the Commission was Dr. Myo Myint, former
Director-General at the Ministry of Religious Affairs; concerns were expressed to the
Mission about his lack of independence.1493 The Commission published its report on 8 July
2013.1494 The Mission welcomes the fact that some parts of the report seek to reflect the

humanitarian need” having been adversely affected by the violence but without having been
displaced. The displacement camps and sites were located across Rakhine State (see details

Muslims, the great majority of them Rohingya, and the remaining five per cent were ethnic
Rakhine and Maramagyi.1498
