The Rohingya are stateless due to Myanmar’s citizenship law (which confers citizenship at birth to members of certain ethnic groups only) and its application. As a direct result of their statelessness, the Rohingya suffer serious rights deprivations. Since 2017 alone over 600,000 Rohingya have fled the country in search of refuge in Bangladesh. © UNHCR/Roger Arnold For more information and enquiries, please contact: UNHCR P.O.
