Description:
Since August 2017, the plight of the ethnic Rohingya Muslim minority in Myanmar and across borders in Bangladesh, India, and Saudi Arabia has presented one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. In September 2018, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) issued fact findings including the presence of "genocidal intent" by Myanmar authorities in forcing the exodus of the Rohingya minority and leading to an encampment of over 1.1 million people in Bangladesh alone.
This CLE event will provide extensive background and context for these circumstances and identify the key international human rights problems facing this vulnerable population and the international community. Topics covered will include:
Overview: Rohingya Crisis Since 2017
Refugee and stateless statuses applicable to Rohingya beyond/within Rakhine State, Myanmar: Asylum and protective responsibility
Obligations of Bangladesh and other States under international law
Resettlement: moral and policy considerations

Criminal liability questions: the alleged crime against humanity of forcible transfer (Bangladesh vis-à-vis Myanmar in ICC proceedings
Viability of international law in protecting rights of Rohingya community and individuals
Roles of refugee law, status of stateless persons, and international criminal law
