Aung San Suu Kyi's government has come in for strong worldwide criticism over the military's treatment of the Rohingya.
The Myanmar military claims it is responding to attacks by Rohingya militants and says it is not targeting civilians.

Aside from Myanmar, although he didn't specify the countries by name, Zeid said the council should consider "the need to exclude from this body states involved in the most egregious violations of human rights".
