The Rohingya, Myanmar’s Muslim minority, face what the United Nations has termed a “textbook example of ethnic cleansing.” Despite this strong condemnation, international efforts have failed to prevent or mitigate the ongoing atrocities. The plight of the Rohingya exposes not only Myanmar’s entrenched ethnic and religious conflicts but also highlights significant gaps in global accountability mechanisms. The People’s Republic of China (PRC), Myanmar’s influential northern neighbor and primary economic partner, has shielded Myanmar from international pressure through its role on the United Nations Security Council, complicating efforts to address the crisis. As Myanmar’s military-backed government continues policies of forced displacement, denial of citizenship, and organized violence against the Rohingya, the crisis signals an international community unable—or unwilling—to intervene against genocide within sovereign borders.
