For the Examination of the combined 3rd and 4th periodic State Party
Reports (CRC/C/MMR/3-4)
-MYANMAR - Updated
in January 2012....."...The Muslim population of Northern Rakhine State, known as Rohingya2, constitutes
an ethnic, linguistic and religious minority group in Myanmar. Their number is
estimated at 735,000 or about 91% of the total population of that area3. They are
ethnically related to the Chittagonian Bengalis just across the border in Bangladesh.
The Rohingya are discriminated against on the basis of their ethnicity and religion,
and are subject to systematic state policies of exclusion, restrictions and arbitrary
treatment imposed on them by successive governments over the last few decades.
These policies were the root causes of two mass refugee exoduses to Bangladesh,
in 1978 and again in 1991/92. The outflow has not stopped and today Rohingyas
continue to flee from Myanmar. In addition to 29,000 registered refugees housed in
two refugee camps, Bangladesh currently hosts 200,000 or more unregistered
Rohingya refugees living among local communities. Tens of thousands have also
migrated to Malaysia and the Middle-East, including thousands of boat people.
Rohingya children, in particular, bear the full brunt of the devastating impact of these
policies, which gravely impair their physical and mental development as children and
will affect the long-term future of their community..."
