The Centre for Peace and Justice (CPJ) of Brac University, the Asia Justice Coalition, and the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) of Erasmus University Rotterdam are jointly organizing the event. The day-long program will be arranged into three panel discussions, the first titled the Rohingya Crisis and Myanmar’s Social and Political Landscape, the second Justice and Accountability, and the third Towards Sustainable Solutions: Multi-faceted Engagements for Concrete Action. Since 2017, Bangladesh has been hosting over a million Rohingya refugees, also known as “Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals” (FDMN). This is in addition to hosting an already large Rohingya refugee community that arrived over for the previous decades. The crimes committed in Myanmar against the Rohingya have prompted a number of accountability initiatives, including a case before the International Criminal Court (ICC) on forced deportation as a crime against humanity.
