UNITED NATIONS, United States - Bangladesh's prime minister on Thursday proposed the creation of UN-supervised "safe zones" inside Myanmar to protect Rohingya Muslims who are fleeing a military crackdown to seek refuge in her country.

"These people must be able to return to their homeland in safety, security and dignity," Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina told the UN General Assembly.
