Abstract

The Rohingya are not recognized as citizens by the Myanmar government, and they are isolated and experience discrimination. As for the Uighur conflict, they are also a minority in China’s Xinjiang region. Human rights violations experienced by the Uighurs were committed by the Chinese government itself, ranging from discrimination, repression, and criminality committed by the Chinese government. The Uighurs were forced to learn communist ideology and renounce Islam. In indoctrinating the Uighurs, the Chinese government imprisoned, tortured, and forced marriage between the Uighurs and the Chinese. The Uighur conflict is also a minority group in China's Xinjiang region. Human rights violations experienced by the Uyghurs were committed by the Chinese government itself, ranging from discrimination, repression, and criminality committed by the Chinese government. The Uyghurs are forced to learn communist ideology and leave Islam. This research is qualitative-descriptive research using library research. The author will collect more data from books, research journals, papers, and online data searches to answer the problem formulation and examine the problems in this research. The results of this study show that the role of the UN in the Rohingya conflict is to send UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) to Myanmar and issue two resolutions by the UN Security Council, while the role of the UN in the Uighur conflict is to send representatives from UNHCHR (United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights) to mediate with the Chinese government, conduct monitoring and protect human rights.
