With the United Nations convening this week for its annual General Assembly of speeches and meetings, several issues are taking center stage.
In addition to discussing the looming threat of a nuclear-capable North Korea, tensions with Iran, and combatting climate change, world leaders are also addressing the growing and increasingly dangerous crisis brewing between the Rohingya and Myanmar's military forces.
The crisi has led to hundreds of thousands of Rohingya being beaten, tortured, and displaced from their homes in the southeast Asian country. But it has gone relatively under-reported until recent weeks, when tensions between the minority ethnic group and Burmese forces boiled over into violence.
