The Geneva-based body decided to "dis***** urgently an independent international fact-finding mission" to Myanmar, particularly focused in **rthern Rahkine state, in a resolution adopted by consensus.
The mission must provide an oral update in September and a full report by this time next year, said the resolution backed by the European Union.
The decision marks a partial diplomatic victory for Myanmar’s new civilian government led by **bel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.
The United Nations special rapporteur on rights in Myanmar, Yanghee Lee, had urged the council to set up a Commission of Inquiry -- the world body’s highest level probe -- to document anti-Rohingya violations.
Earlier this month, Lee told reporters that European leaders wanted to give Suu Kyi’s nascent government more time before launching a top-level inquiry, which may have implicated top military officials in crimes against humanity.
