IqbalHasan Lecturer, Political Science under Department of Law Sheikh FazilatunnesaMujib University Jamalpur, Mymensingh Bangladesh Corresponding Author: Md. IqbalHasan ABSTRACT: ―The Rohingya refugees from northern Rakhine State in Myanmar are living in a precarious situation in their country of asylum, Bangladesh, but have seen significant improvements in recent times." The Rohingya people are one of the most tormented and oppressed refugee groups in the world. The Rohingyacrisis breed from the military junta's extensive violations of human rights in Myanmar against the Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine. The Rohingyas are stateless and they fled to Bangladesh and other neighboring countries to take refuge. Long term negotiation has failed to solute the Rohingya refugee crisis. In this year more than 500,000 Rohingyas slip away from Myanmar to surrounding countries. This article talks to the Rohingya refugee crisis in Bangladesh, with special emphasis on violation of human rights. I check out several documents on Rohingya refugees, look over a registered refugee camp accumulate case reports, and driven a series of meetings with stakeholders in the Cox‘s Bazar district of Bangladesh. A total of 33,131 registered Rohingya refugees are living in two registered camps in Cox‘s Bazar, and up to 80,000 additional refugees are housed in nearby makeshift camps. This article traverse that the Rohingya crisis is not only a humanitarian calamity but also intimidation to Bangladesh's internal stability.

With elections due within the next year or so, tensions look set to deepen further. During 2016 and 2017, both sides have rehearsed the positions about how the next elections should be conducted that they took in 2014. After winning power in 2008, the AL changed the Constitution so that a neutral caretaker administration was no longer required and shows no inclination to reverse the move.

  • Blue Economy
    www.maritimeindia.org 37th SAARC Council of Ministers Meeting: Bangladesh Takes the Lead on Blue Economy Author: G Padmaja* Date: 7 April 2016 The 37th Session of the SAARC Council of Ministers (COM) Meeting was held at Pokhra in Nepal on 17 March 2016. It carries great significance as this is the highest SAARC level meeting to take place before the 19th SAARC Summit is held in Pakistan on 9-10 November 2016. The members spoke on – regional trade and economic integration; traditional and non-traditional security challenges; terrorism; education and SAARC knowledge network; culture; climate change, natural disasters and disaster management; SAARC satellite; energy; connectivity; motor vehicles agreement; agriculture; poverty alleviation; tourism; science and technology and many other issues of concern to the region.1. But with regard to Blue Economy, Bangladesh took the lead. It circulated a concept note on Blue Economy and said that once it receives the views of member states, it will host an expert-level meeting in order to shape the Blue Economy discourse within the SAARC region.2 The concept of Blue Economy was first spelt out in 2010.3 Later since 2012, it has been discussed in the United Nations 4 and other forums. 5 Most of the SAARC countries have discussed Blue Economy as part of their national economic agendas and in the international forums. But, at the regional level in the SAARC platform it is yet to gain the urgency and importance which it deserves though the 18th SAARC Summit Declaration makes a mention about it. The paper tries to understand this duality.
