The United Nations General Assembly has approved a resolution condemning human rights abuses against Myanmar’s Rohingya Muslims and other minorities, including arbitrary arrests, torture, rape and deaths in detention, according to a UN report.

The 193-member body has just voted 134-9 with 28 abstentions in favour of the resolution, which also calls on Nay Pyi Taw to take urgent measures to combat incitement of hatred against the Rohingya and other minorities in Rakhine, Shan and Kachin states, according to the report.

The vote is said to not to be legally binding but reflects world opinion.

The Myanmar government recently responded to charges of genocide made by Gambia in the International Court of Justice in the Hague in the Netherlands.
