The UN Security Council is urging Myanmar's government to allow international investigators to help probe allegations of human rights violations against Rohingya Muslims, saying it remains "gravely concerned" at their plight.

In a letter to Myanmar's leaders obtained today by The Associated Press, the council noted the government's commitment to investigate all allegations of violence.

It said independent and transparent investigations "with involvement of the international community ... would turn this commitment into concrete action and ensure that all perpetrators of human rights violations and abuses are held to account."
