recommendations
in efforts to put diplomatic pressure on the Government of Bangladesh to respect the right of
Rohingya refugees to freedom of movement as recognized under international law.
•
Human rights organisations and international actors should investigate Bangladesh for violations of international covenants ratified by the Government of Bangladesh related to the treatment of Rohingya.
•
International donors should provide financial support to Rohingya civil society organisations working on human rights, anti-corruption, and nonviolent resistance initiatives within the camps.
To Humanitarian Organisations
•
UNHCR and other humanitarian organisations should publicly state their limitations regarding the protection
of Rohingya refugees and the inability of the humanitarian sector to fulfil the basic needs of Rohingya refugees.
This will dispel the myth that the humanitarian response is able to effectively provide protection to Rohingya,
or meet their basic needs and will undermine the incorrect GoB justification for restrictions, namely, that Rohingya refugees have all of their basic needs fulfilled by humanitarian organisations within the refugee camps.
•
Collaborate with the government to develop and implement training programmes
for camp in charge (CIC) staff and security forces on human rights principles, conflict resolution, rule of law, and effective communication strategies.
•
Develop advocacy approaches that prioritise strategic, quiet advocacy related to the human rights situation of
Rohingya. Provide information on the abuses committed by security forces to humanitarian headquarter offices,
human rights organisations, embassies in Bangladesh, and journalists/media covering the Rohingya crisis.
•
Develop and implement programmes that empower Rohingya youth with skills,
knowledge, and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
•
Strengthen food security measures to ensure an adequate and consistent supply of nutritious food
for all refugees in the camp, addressing the persistent issue of hunger and malnutrition.
•
Improve healthcare facilities, living conditions, and ease of travel for healthcare purposes within the camp,
ensuring that refugees have access to necessary medical services and live in humane and dignified conditions.
•
Respect the experience and qualifications of Rohingya in their roles working in the humanitarian sector
by providing adequate payment and ensuring humane treatment without partiality or discrimination.
