FORCED MIGRATION AND ITS CONSEQUENCES ON HUMAN SECURITY: REFLECTIONS ON ROHINGYA REFUGEES IN BANGLADESH

Abstract

The Rohingya is an ethnic minority group in Myanmar that has due to persecution, crossed into neighboring Bangladesh over decades, laying uneven pressure on the scarce resources of Bangladesh. Providing basic provisions of their life like food, shelter, and healthcare have been the utmost priorities at the moment and also for the rest of the period until the return of Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh to Myanmar. Rohingya refugees are seriously at the risk of human trafficking. Health security and food security are the evolving challenges in the makeshifts where refugees are living. Even, there is the likelihood of increasing happening of such incidences and aggravating the local social and cultural harmony among the local citizens and the Rohingya refugees. Bangladesh has been commendable throughout its diplomatic efforts to keep the persistent pressure on Myanmar for repatriation of Rohingya refugees. Bangladesh is relentlessly coordinating and communicating with donors and other relevant stakeholders to come forward to solve this problem permanently by putting pressure on the Myanmar government to take back its citizens by creating a safe and secured environment. UN endeavor is to be persistent to enforce the recommendation of Annan Commission by imposing diplomatic force on Myanmar.
