The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights right now is Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein.
In September Hussein (an objective and independent observer) said...
“The situation seems a textbook example of ethnic cleansing,” Zeid Ra‘ad al-Hussein told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, noting that the current situation cannot yet be fully assessed since Myanmar has refused access to human rights investigators.
From the position of the government in Myanmar any investigation led by this person is going to side with the Muslims.
I imagine if Hans Blix were heading the investigation they'd feel different.

And unless Myanmar lets in investigators to determine the truth, it will still look like ethnic cleansing. Locking them out does nothing to improve the situation.
Kinda like Hans Blix getting the runaround in Iraq. That backfired on Saddam. And the CIA even tried to discredit him, and that backfired on Bush.
Sometimes it's just better to let in the investigator and let them find nothing is amiss. Unless, it is . . .
Again a term like "UN Investigators" is an oxymoron.
They're not going there to investigate. They could write their report before they jump on the plane. More likely than not, they do.
"Lee had planned to use her visit to find out procedures for the return of Rohingya refugees, and to investigate increased fighting in the Kachin and northern Shan areas of Myanmar."
Yeah, sort of like the independent and objective investigators who have spent a year trying to prove that Trump and Russia colluded to steal the election from Hillary.
UN independent investigator - there's an oxymoron for you.
You mean the leftist, anti-Trump, pro-radical Muslim, UN infiltrator?
Yup, Hans Blix was an asshole.

Myanmar blocks UN rights investigator weeks before visit
Nothing will changed.
