Rohingya Refugee Crisis: Myth, Mystery and Geopolitics (Hardcover)

The Rohingyas are the ethnic Muslim minority of Myanmar and the most persecuted minority in the world. Through a series of military led brutal operations and discriminatory policies, Myanmar did crimes of genocide on the Rohingyas. Myanmar’s atrocities forced all the Rohingyas to flee to Bangladesh and currently more than one million Rohingya refugees are living in Bangladesh. Myanmar and other international community’s responses are minimal so far. Present international refugee law regime does not offer burden-share as a legal obligation. Even, northern states financial contribution to refugee crisis is motivated by their respective political or other strategic interest. Present international refugee law regime has failed to adjust with contemporary global displacement. Rohingyas’ repatriation to Myanmar without granting their citizenship status will not be a durable solution to this crisis. The more than one million refugee influxes to Bangladesh has had severe impact on the local and environment. Proper international cooperation is urgent for Bangladesh to handle this crisis as dream of Rohingya repatriation is blurring day by day.
