findings iII: Justice and corruption The majority of respondents believed that the army can be trusted and have expressed that they wish for the police to be replaced with the army in the camps. Other camp actors, such as the CICs, humanitarians, and majis, are trusted to varying degrees. For some, the CICs and majis are not to be trusted because they either accept bribes, collaborate with the police, or both. Others report that the aforementioned can be trusted because they act justly and work with the Rohingya to solve their problems. Some respondents expressed a mistrust of the INGOs working in the camps because of reported corruption, embezzlement, and discrimination in service distribution. The majority of respondents believed that the army can be trusted and have expressed that they wish for the police to be replaced with the army in the camps. “It’s true the NGOs are working hard to support us with food assistance and other services,” said Sabira, a 21-year-old Rohingya woman. “But there is some corruption and embezzlement even among the field-level humanitarians. We sometimes see discrimination in distribution of the services. We also see abuses of funds and services.” 87 The UNHCR and other United Nations agencies are the most trusted aid organisations within the camps as they are reported to not accept bribes, but they are still slow to respond to reported problems and, despite protection being one of their main responsibilities, they are perceived as ineffectual in improving camp safety and security. 87 Interview C14F 49
