Forced Migration of Rohingya: The Geopolitics of the International Community in Addressing the Humanitarian Crisis
摘要
The plight of the Rohingya forced migrants has persisted for years. Bangladesh and the international community are endeavoring to resolve the crisis despite considerable humanitarian expenditure. The forced migration of the Rohingya began after they were stripped of their citizenship and ethnic identity in 1982, leading to repeated displacement to neighboring countries. Bangladesh is now home to nearly 1 million Rohingya in Cox’s Bazar, the largest refugee settlement in the world. Although the international community, including influential states, the United Nations, and regional institutions, recognize the crisis, a solution is still not in sight. Despite calls for repatriation, the problem remains unresolved. Myanmar’s strategic location between South and Southeast Asia makes the country geopolitically significant and attracts regional and international interest. This paper examines the geopolitical factors influencing the Rohingya crisis and explores the role of the international community in addressing the plight of the displaced and stateless Rohingyas.
