The role of remote sensing (RS) in the investigation of major human rights violations has begun to significantly increase. Although geographers have focused on expanding the technical application of RS in documenting such horrors, there has been limited interest in exploring the complex ways RS is being used by international human rights (IHR) actors in the field. This article argues that the ongoing crisis in Rakhine State, Myanmar, has become a watershed moment for the IHR community as it begins to fully embrace the use of RS across multiple levels of intergovernmental and nongovernmental investigative processes. As such, the application of an inherently geographic process in the coconstruction of rights-based narratives regarding the Rohingya people needs to be explored in terms of how RS is understood by IHR actors, the ways in which it is being used, and the geopolitical impact it is having.

遥感 (RS) 在调查重大侵犯人权行为中的作用已开始显着增强。尽管地理学家专注于扩大 RS 在记录此类恐怖事件中的技术应用，但人们对探索国际人权 (IHR) 参与者在该领域使用 RS 的复杂方式兴趣有限。本文认为，缅甸若开邦的持续危机已成为 IHR 社区的分水岭，因为它开始在政府间和非政府调查过程的多个层面上完全接受 RS 的使用。因此，需要根据 IHR 参与者如何理解 RS 来探索固有地理过程在共同构建关于罗兴亚人的基于权利的叙述中的应用，
