Abstract

Bangladesh is eminent in a very difficult situation regarding the Rohingya refugee crisis and their repatriation, and it practices balanced diplomacy, while her neighboring countries remain silent on the Rohingya problem. Bangladesh, as a host country for 1.1 million Rohingya refugees, faces environmental deterioration in terms of shelter, sanitation, and water management, among other things, due to the destruction of forest and hills. It must repatriate the Rohingya to their motherland in order to do this. This research looks at common long-term responses to the refugee crisis in Bangladesh, as well as the attitudes and behaviors of displaced Rohingyas. It claims that finding long-term solutions for Rohingya refugees through repatriation, integration, or resettlement in their home, host, and third countries is nearly impossible, but there are geographical as well as global challenges. In this case, there is a chance of repatriation in the immediate future, but it would be a small population relative to the total number of refugees. Since Bangladesh and Myanmar have been working together in a joint working group (JWG) since January 2018 to find solutions to the Rohingya crisis and repatriation, this process is still ongoing. This research aims to depict the potential challenges of repatriation of Rohingya refugee from Bangladesh.

Highlights

  • The Rohingyas are an ethnic, linguistic, and Muslim community in Myanmar's northern Rakhine state (Azad & Jasmin, 2013) who are not recognized as "citizens" of the country (Ullah, 2011)

  • In the light of the requirement of Articles 7(1) and 9(1) of the Civil and Political Covenant, the duty to carry out repatriation in security may be declared to be a matter of legal obligation, which requires states to avoid 'torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or penalty' and to affirmatively provide for 'personal security' In the jurisprudence of the Commission, a State party is liable for the logical actions of its agents, even if these actions occur outside the State's borders, including those involved in the process of repatriation (Hathaway, 2005)

  • It is an absurd argument that Rohingyas are not indigenous people in Arakan and they were brought by the British as the Chinese were brought to Malaysia

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The Rohingyas are an ethnic, linguistic, and Muslim community in Myanmar's northern Rakhine state (Azad & Jasmin, 2013) who are not recognized as "citizens" of the country (Ullah, 2011). The Rohingya people, on the other hand, claim to be natives of NRS (formerly known as Arakan State) and can trace their roots back over a thousand years They sought refuge in various countries, including Bangladesh, after being persecuted by government forces and an extreme portion of the majority Buddhist population. The new contract is based on a repatriation agreement that was signed in 1992/93 If both the country of origin and the refugees are not ready for voluntary return, premature repatriation occurs. The Bangladesh government, as well as many international communities, are working hard to address the issue and return the Rohingya to their homeland This issue has framed a new dimension of global politics on this issue, as it is no longer just a regional issue between Bangladesh and Myanmar (Murayama, 2006). In general, have unquestionably gained the status of customary international law
