- Rohingya Conf (Rohingya Conference)
The influx of a large number of Rohingya populations into Bangladesh over last few
years has become a critical concern for both the host and international communities.
Many of the incidents of forced displacement and migration remain underexplored or
understudied, leaving searches for sustainable solutions to those issues at a dearth.
The multifarious issues associated with the Rohingya influx into Bangladesh such as
social, cultural, political, legal, health and environment require a comprehensive
understanding to develop a durable solution for overcoming the crisis.
From both humanitarian and national security perspectives, it is imperative that if the
on-going mechanisms function properly, the displaced Rohingya people would get
their rights back. The rights don’t necessarily mean only the repatriation of those who
have been displaced but also ensuring their citizenship rights and living in their land
with all fundamental rights and dignity. On the other hand, Bangladesh has been
bearing a heavy burden of a huge Rohingya population. In such a context, the
questions remain: How long will these displaced and stateless people stay in their
temporary shelters in Bangladesh? What are the prospects of a safe repatriation of
Rohingya people? Will Myanmar take them back and give their rights and allow them
to live with dignity? How significant is the local and global response to this crisis?
Does the Rohingya crisis pose a direct threat to national and regional security? What
are the socioeconomic challenges both host and the Rohingya communities face in
the shelter areas? What types of health hazards may arise in the Rohingya camps?
How vulnerable are the women and children in these camps? What are the
environmental impacts in the camp areas? How can the on-going peacekeeping and
peacebuilding efforts lead to a durable conflict resolution?
In order to develop sustainable solutions to the Rohingya displacement crisis, both
the intellectual and the development community need to find answers to the above
questions. At present, it is evident that an immediate solution is far from a reality, as
the repatriation of the dislocated Rohingya population to Myanmar has not been
forthcoming. Considering this uncertainty, both the host and Rohingya communities
may face further complex situations, where some of the options may not be effective
at all. Therefore, a rigorous and comprehensive analysis of all the facets of the
Rohingya crisis is essential in order to find a practical solution before it is too late.
Under this backdrop, the Department of Political Science and Sociology
(PSS) and South Asian Institute of Policy and Governance (SIPG) of North
South University (NSU), Dhaka, Bangladesh are organizing an international
conference on “Rohingya Crisis in Bangladesh: Challenges and Sustainable
Solutions” on July 27-28, 2019 in collaboration with the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
