The Rohingya are at Risk of Being Forgotten

This August 2024 marks seven years since more than a million Rohingya were forced to flee their home after genocidal attacks against the  Rohingya community by the Burmese Military. The effects of the genocide did not end in 2017. Those in refugee camps continue to wait for justice and accountability even as they face insecurity and restrictions of rights in the camps. Burma remains unsafe for their return. The remaining members of the community in Burma face displacement and ongoing atrocities as the civil war in the country continues, increasing in intensity in the Rohingya homeland of Rakhine State in recent months.

Please join Refugees International for a conversation with diplomats and Rohingyan advocates on the latest developments in the response to the Rohingya crisis and justice and accountability efforts at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), International Criminal Court (ICC) and beyond. The panelists will share from their lived and work experiences on how best to end the war in Burma and protect the Rohingya.
