The government refuses to grant the Rohingya citizenship, and as a result most of the group’s members have no legal documentation, effectively making them stateless. Myanmar’s 1948 citizenship law was already exclusionary, and the military junta, which seized power in 1962, introduced another law twenty years later that stripped the Rohingya of access to full citizenship. Until recently, the Rohingya had been able to register as temporary residents with identification cards, known as white cards, which the junta began issuing to many Muslims, both Rohingya and non-Rohingya, in the 1990’s. The white cards conferred limited rights but were not recognized as proof of citizenship. The Rohingiya people have faced decades of sustematic discrimination, statelessness and targeted violence in Rakhine State, Myanmar. Such persecution has forced Rohingiya women, girls, boys and men into Bangladesh for many years, with significant spikes following violent attacks in 1978, 1991-92, again in 2016. Yet it was August 2017 that triggered by far the largest and fastest refugee influx into Bangladesh. Since then, an estimated 745,000 Rohingiya – including more than 400,000 children- have fled Cox’s Bazar. The situation that led to killings, rapes and gang rapes, torture, forced displacement and other grave rights violations in 2017 remained unchanged, the investigators said in September, blaming a lack of accountability and Myanmar’s failure to fully investigate allegations or criminalise genocide. Rakhine province itself is the site of an ongoing conflict between the army and rebels from the Buddhist-majority Rakhine ethnic group.
