These accounts tell us in detail how dispossession has been rendered an essential feature of the modern polit but the fail to think through the possibilities of radical survival. 5 The Canvas According to the Institute of Statelessness and Inclusion s estimates 6, in Asia and the Pacific, Malaysia is listed as one of the countries which have large populations of stateless persons (over 10,000). Mala sia s performance to date in relation to UNHCR s goal of ending statelessness in 2024, in particular through Action 1 (Resolving Major Situations of Statelessness); Action 2 (Ensure that No Child is Born Stateless); and Action 10 (Improve Quantitative and Qualitative Data on Stateless Persons), is seen as exemplar. This, of course, is despite the fact that the Rohinghya crisis continues to unfold and the decades-long systemic persecution of the stateless Muslim Rohingyas in Myanmar (formerly Burma) remain largely unheeded by the world at large. Staggering numbers in human casualties, loss of property, gendered violence and homelessness, with direct perpetrators behind man of the mass atrocities including members of M anmar s military, police, and ultra-nationalist groups, and in the company of Buddhist monks who vow to rid the country of Muslims acting as instigators introduces us to an altogether different picture (Canefe et al. 2022). In addition, like many of the long-standing statelessness cases, the Rohingya crisis extends well beyond a localized humanitarian problem, effecting the whole of Southeast Asian region. The canvas is to be inclusive of all these dimensions before declaring Myanmar as a success stor in terms of its address of statelessness . There are indeed forma answers built in international law for the reduction of statelessness and the protection of stateless persons. However, as new forms of statelessness emerge, eradicating For instance, in his work L Homme jetable, Essai sur l e terminisme et la violence e tr me, Bertrand Ogilvie (2012, 73-74) makes a case for contemporary political order being based on an indirect logic of e termination , morall allowing governments to abandon their surplus populations to their own fate. These disposable people purportedl cannot function as part of the economic and public sphere and become the l homme jetable (disposable man). It is quite a jump, and in this case an utterly mistaken one, to declare that the stateless peoples become disposable. 6 https://files.institutesi.org/year_report_2020.pdf [last accessed 22.02.2022] 5 8
