Rights and Justice for Stateless Rohingya in Bangladesh

Abstract

Rohingya refugees face numerous challenges in their daily lives in the world's most densely populated refugee camps. International refugee laws are not operative due to the domestic laws and the legal aspects of refugee management when Bangladesh is non-signatory to any conventions related to refugees. The article argues that the practice of international laws on refugee conventions is essential for rights and opportunities for refugees to build prospects. The study found inadequate policies and programs on human rights and opportunities for Rohingya in refugee camps hampering their inclusive development long run. Limited service on health, education, and other basic needs potentially affects their livelihoods now and then. This paper calls for international solidarity and implementation of international laws for their rights and opportunities and smooth operations of local and global humanitarian agencies. The time for justice and actions is now for Rohingya to live, prosper, and safely return to Myanmar all while ensuring accountability for justice-related efforts.
