  "account": "Malaysia has urged for increased burden-sharing and international cooperation to alleviate the Rohingya refugee crisis in Myanmar. Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan emphasized that a lasting resolution necessitates addressing the root causes, such as citizenship issues, while establishing conditions for the safe, voluntary, and dignified return of Rohingya refugees to Rakhine State. The minister expressed ongoing concern over the prolonged conflict and deteriorating humanitarian situation in Myanmar, particularly the suffering of the Rohingya, which has also adversely affected Malaysia. During an intervention at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Annual Coordination Meeting of Foreign Ministers, Mohamad reaffirmed Malaysia's commitment to holding perpetrators accountable for human rights abuses and reiterated support for The Gambia's case against Myanmar at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The minister welcomed the conclusion of ICJ hearings in January 2026 and looked forward to the court's decision. Malaysia is actively contributing to the OIC Fund for Rohingya and encouraged other OIC member states to make generous contributions.",
