recommendations 11. The Government of Bangladesh and APBn leadership should adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption, violence, SGBV, extortion, theft, and forced labour by government forces operating within the camps. This should include strict disciplinary measures. 12. The Government of Bangladesh, the Bangladesh Anti-Corruption Commission, and the APBn should investigate and prosecute APBn abuses against Rohingya, including cases of violence, extortion, theft, falsification of evidence, arbitrary detention, and arbitrary prohibitions against movement. Considering the limitations and partiality of internal investigations, along with reports by Rohingya in this study that existing reporting mechanisms are ineffective, the GoB should also initiate an external impartial investigation of APBn abuses against Rohingya. 13. Enhance camp safety and security by implementing robust operations to apprehend criminal gangs operating within the camps. Ensure that these operations are humane and do not involve violence, torture, arbitrary arrest, falsification of evidence, or bribery/extortion to secure release from custody. 14. The government should prioritise and invest in providing access to formal education using Myanmar curriculum for Rohingya children within the camps by collaborating with Rohingya-led private schools, humanitarian organisations, and educational experts. Provide training and support for teachers working within the camps to ensure they have the necessary skills and knowledge to deliver quality education to Rohingya children.‎ Allow Rohingya students to pursue higher education in Bangladesh and international universities. 15. Establish fair, accessible legal frameworks for Rohingya to ensure the protection of refugee rights and promote justice and equality within the camp. 16. Consult with Rohingya to facilitate the dignified repatriation of refugees to their home country, ensuring their rights are respected and providing necessary support for their successful reintegration when the conditions are right. 17. Remove all barbed wire fences surrounding the camps, to ensure that Rohingya do not face hazards or barriers that impede them from fleeing danger or seeking emergency assistance. 18. Remove prohibitions that prevent Rohingya from owning or carrying smartphones or laptops, and publicly announce the change of policy. Allow Rohingya to possess sim cards from both Myanmar and Bangladesh, and allow Rohingya to install and use money transfer applications such as bKash on their devices. Investigate APBn officers who confiscate Rohingya devices, money, or other possessions and hold perpetrators accountable. 84
