Ex-UN head Annan to lead Myanmar's Rohingya commission
Myanmar has picked former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan on Wednesday to lead a commission to stop human rights abuse against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar's Rakhine State. The commission intends to find a "sustainable solution" to violence between Buddhists and minority Rohingya Muslims. Interestingly, Annan was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001 for prioritising human rights in the UN.
