Systemic exclusion and statelessness: The Rohingya human rights crisis in Myanmar
Summary
The Rohingya, a predominantly Muslim ethnic minority from Myanmar's Rakhine State, have endured decades of systematic discrimination, exclusion, and violence. The 1982 Citizenship Law stripped them of legal recognition, rendering many stateless in their own country. Conditions dramatically worsened in 2017 when Myanmar's military launched widespread operations, leading to mass displacement. The article argues that humanitarian aid alone cannot build durable solutions without addressing the root causes of systemic exclusion and statelessness.
