A collective failure

The Rohingya crisis is not a regional burden but a test of global conscience 

 

The face of the Andaman Sea once again turned into a graveyard for the Rohingya. Earlier this month, a boat carrying Rohingya refugees, desperate families fleeing ongoing persecution and violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, sank near the Thai-Malaysian border, with hundreds still missing.

Lucky Karim has delivered a wonderful speech at UNGA, A Rohingya Woman.

Greatly honored to be able to testify today before the U.S House Foreign Affairs Committee Dems on #Burma 🇲🇲Just three years ago, I was the little girl worrying about my future and the lives of my community in the shadow of my shelter in refugee camps and today proudly representing my country, community and speaking from my lived experience for those left behind — Despite the ground reality, the Burmese #Military regime is planning a sham #election next month, this election will never be free or fair. It’s only a way for the Military regime to seek international legitimacy. The international community and the U.S government must act now to pressure the Burmese Military to stop its attacks and to allow aid into Rakhine State and other areas across the country facing high levels of food insecurity.

Eight years after the mass exodus of Rohingya people from Myanmar, their future looks as uncertain as ever. Uprooted from their homeland by a campaign of targeted violence launched by the Myanmar military in August 2017, some 700,000 ethnic Rohingya refugees sought safety just across the border in Bangladesh. They joined thousands of others from the community who had fled earlier episodes of violence and abuse. Today there are nearly one million Rohingya living in overcrowded camps in Cox’s Bazar—now the largest refugee settlement in the world.

“You already have the evidence. You already have the power. What is missing is the political will.” Rohingya Activist Wai Wai Nu at the U.N. High-level Conference on Tuesday, September 30, 2025. 

 

As the Rohingya community faces compounding crises, this week’s U.N. High-level Conference on the Situation of Rohingya Muslims and Other Minorities in Myanmar was held at a critical moment. The Rohingya, who are one of the most persecuted communities in the world, face existential threats, including international crimes by the Myanmar military and the Arakan Army, an ethnic armed group. Outside of Myanmar, the Rohingya who live in refugee camps in Bangladesh face drastic cuts to essential aid.

 The annual UN General Assembly has once again come and gone. World leaders delivered lofty speeches about war, climate change, and human rights. Yet among the most acute humanitarian tragedies of our time, the plight of the Rohingya, there was little more than symbolic mention. The genocide that forced nearly a million Rohingya into Bangladesh, and the continued persecution of those still in Myanmar, risks being relegated to the margins of global concern.

 A safe and voluntary repatriation of refugees to Rakhine State remains unlikely for the foreseeable future. Is it time for a new approach?

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Rohingya Muslims pleaded with the international community at the first United Nations high-level meeting on the plight of the ethnic minority to prevent the mass killings taking place in Myanmar and to help those in the persecuted group lead normal lives.

“This is a historic occasion for Myanmar, but this is long overdue,” Wai Wai Nu, the Rohingya founder and executive director of the Women’s Peace Network-Myanmar, told ministers and ambassadors from many of the U.N.’s 193-member nations in the General Assembly Hall.
