The Rohingya refugee crisis: Reflections from the region

This panel brings together a range of experts to reflect upon key aspects of the Rohingya refugee crisis and discuss paths forward from this seemingly intractable problem. The Andaman Sea crisis of 2015 saw some 8,000 Rohingya and Bangladeshis stranded at sea in dire humanitarian conditions, and threw into sharp relief the region’s limited capacity to respond in a timely manner to the challenges of maritime migration. Subsequently, in 2017, the mass exodus of Rohingya from Myanmar saw almost 750,000 Rohingya flee into Bangladesh, joining those who had fled in previous years. Thus far, repatriation attempts have failed to meet the minimum acceptable standards, yet remaining indefinitely in Bangladesh is not a solution either. This panel explores some of the key outstanding issues resulting from this crisis, and how progress towards durable solutions might be made. The Kaldor Centre was delighted to host the Asia-Pacific component of a global conference held in January 2021 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Statute of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The conference was a partnership between UNHCR and the Global Academic Interdisciplinary Network (GAIN), established under the 2018 Global Compact on Refugees.
