This IMR Dispatch attempts to elucidate the different concerns of human right groups and international communities over the relocation of the Rohingyas, a forcefully displaced ethnic minority of Myanmar, from the Cox's Bazar refugee camps, in mainland Bangladesh, to a newly developed island, Bhasan Char, in the Bay of Bengal. Of the nearly 1 million Rohingyas currently living in Cox's Bazar camps, the Bangladesh government has started relocating 100,000 Rohingyas to Bhasan Char. International organizations have expressed three concerns over this relocation strategy: first, that the Rohingyas have been relocated to Bhasan Char forcibly, second, that since Bhasan Char is a newly built island, there are potential environmental risks for the Rohingyas, and third, that this relocation does not ensure that the Rohingyas’ human rights will be respected on the island. The Bangladesh government, however, has dismissed these allegations, arguing that the relocation of 100,000 Rohingyas is voluntary and that the island provides them an opportunity for improved living. This IMR Dispatch reflects on those allegations concerning the relocation strategy, with the goal of drawing migration scholars’ attention to these developments. Since the Rohingyas are already a forcibly displaced community, migration scholars should pay close attention to this re-migration or onward migration of large numbers of Rohingyas to a new island and its implications for host-country approaches to forced migration.

罗兴亚人从考克斯巴扎尔迁移到孟加拉国巴桑查尔的影响

这个IMR特派文试图阐明人权团体和国际社会对缅甸被迫流离失所的少数民族罗兴亚人从孟加拉国大陆的考克斯巴扎尔难民营迁移到新开发的岛屿 Bhasan Char 的不同关切。孟加拉湾。目前居住在考克斯巴扎尔难民营的近 100 万罗兴亚人中,孟加拉国政府已开始将 10 万罗兴亚人重新安置到 Bhasan Char。国际组织对这一搬迁策略表达了三点担忧:第一,罗兴亚人被强行搬迁到巴桑查尔;第二,由于巴桑查尔是新建的岛屿,罗兴亚人存在潜在的环境风险;第三,此次搬迁并不能确保罗兴亚人的人权在岛上得到尊重。然而,孟加拉国政府否认了这些指控,称 100,000 名罗兴亚人的迁移是自愿的,该岛为他们提供了改善生活的机会。这IMR Dispatch 对这些关于搬迁战略的指控进行了反思,目的是引起移民学者对这些发展的关注。由于罗兴亚人已经是一个被迫迁移的社区,因此移民学者应该密切关注大量罗兴亚人重新迁移或继续迁移到新岛屿及其对东道国强制迁移方法的影响。
