ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This guide by the Refugee Solidarity Network (RSN), namely Zaid Hydari and Kevin Cole, and the Bangladesh Legal Aid Services and Trust (BLAST), was written in close consultation with Sara Hossain, the Honorary Executive Director of BLAST and a barrister practicing in the Supreme Court of Bangladesh, and Dr. Shamsul Bari, a board member of BLAST and former UNHCR Regional Director and UN Independent Expert on the human rights situation in Somalia. The content is based on research undertaken in collaboration with legal experts Sumaiya Islam, Coline Schupfer, Dr. Ridwanul Hoque, and Quazi Omar Foysal, and was further developed with insights from legal experts Muhammad Sunnah and Hamidul Mishbah, who provided extensive written feedback and without whose outstanding contributions this resource would not have been possible. A special thank you to our partners at BLAST, especially Mahbuba Akhter, Tajul Islam, Taqbir Huda, Taposhi Rabeya, Abdullah Titir, Farjana Fatema, and Nusrat Meraji for their insights and reflections, and for organizing the consultations and webinars to verify and disseminate the research findings. Similarly, we extend our most sincere appreciation to partner organization Naripokkho, including Shireen Huq, Kamrun Nahar, Maheen Sultan, and Samia Afrin, for tireless support and promotion of this initiative from its inception. Additional thanks to Manzoor Hasan, Zia Uddin, and others at Center for Peace and Justice at BRAC University for their role in organizing consultations and providing feedback and guidance. Special thanks to all those who dedicated their time and shared their professional experience in order to inform the analysis, including but not limited to Razia Sultana, Dr. Shahdeen Malik, Alvi Hakim, Saleh Mohammad Shafi, and Dr. Faustina Pereira. The report was edited by David Berry. We are likewise grateful to and would like to thank all participants in national consultation events and webinars, who are too many to name, for sharing their time and reflections with us, and for their assistance in contextualizing and truly enriching this reference document. 1 BE YOND REFU GE: ADVANCING LEG AL PROTECTIONS FOR ROHINGYA C OMMUNITIES IN BANGL ADESH
