What is Rohingya Crisis

Chapter 14
Dealing With Regional Conflicts of Global Importance
The Rohingyas, a Muslim and ethnic minority from the Rakhine state of Myanmar are the most persecuted minority group and have been denied citizenship and rendered stateless by the military government of Myanmar in 1982 and consequently forced to flee to neighbouring countries. The Rohingya crisis resulted from human rights abuses and Injustice, brutality, and discrimination committed by the government of Myanmar against the Rohingya people over a long period of time. There has been no progress in the Rohingya refugee situation after years of negotiations and currently an estimated 3.5 million Rohingya refugees are dispersed around the world.

Abstract
This chapter explores the government policy of relocating the Rohingya refugees from Cox's Bazar to Bhasan Char from the perspectives of human rights and refugee rights. Drawing from existing literature and diverse discourses, it explores the complexities surrounding this issue. The transfer of some Rohingya refugees to Bhasan Char by the government of Bangladesh has raised concerns among human rights activists and development workers about potential human rights violations and the safety of these displaced individuals. This chapter aims to critically analyse the issues related to the Rohingya refugee crisis, like mass political asylum, the policy of non-refoulement, violence against humanity, and the impact of the Bangladeshi government's decision to relocate the Rohingya refugees on their human rights, in light of the concepts involved in international law.
