Yet the Home Secretary is still resisting the UN's appeal to give sanctuary to more Syrian refugees, and refusing to help the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to provide refuge to more of those fleeing Syria and so manage the Boat Crisis.

Given the migrant Boat Crisis over the past few weeks, should not the British Government take the view that it is time for all Burmese political leaders now to speak up and do what they can for the Rohingya and say that Rohingya citizenship should be recognised?

Finally, one area where Bangladesh has been less proactive is the Boat Crisis with Burmese and Bangladesh migrants.
