“…At this point, UNHCR insisted on an increased role by directly facilitating the repatriation of refugees, but the repatriation was stalled in December 1992 due to UNHCR’s withdrawal from the process over the concerns that Bangladesh was forcibly returning the refugees (Dock, 2020: 14). After the withdrawal, Bangladesh fearing larger security implications continued forcibly returning refugees without consulting UNHCR and was widely criticized by the international community (Estriani, 2018: 366–367). Although UNHCR reengaged in the repatriation process by signing a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 1993, began interviewing refugees in 1994 asking their opinion on voluntary repatriation, and refused to return unwilling Rohingyas, Bangladesh government criticized UNHCR for intentionally slowing down the process and insisted on quick repatriation including the involuntary ones (Dock, 2020: 14–16).…”

Several studies have highlighted the Rohingya refugees as a threat to the national security of Bangladesh, but very few studies have analyzed the process of securitization of the Rohingyas in the country. This paper examines the process of securitization by applying securitization theory and makes two key arguments. First, contrary to the studies which presented the securitization of Rohingyas in Bangladesh as a recent phenomenon, we argue that the securitization process began in the 1990s and widely expanded in the 2010s. Second, the securitization of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh has been done by employing both discursive (speech acts) and non-discursive securitizing practices. A qualitative investigation of official statements, policies, and available scholarly insights helps make sense of these arguments.

As an abstinence of the UN Refugee Convention, Bangladesh does not have an obligation to protect her inward refugees, and the Rohingya are one of the challenging concerns. This chapter aims to discuss human rights in light of international treaties/documents concerning the Rohingya community in Bangladesh when they are a stateless community, not refugees. Methodologically, this study takes the critical discourse analysis approach aided by secondary data. The study found that the community is competing with the majority of Bengali to access the common resources or property pools like forests, rivers, and beaches. This study concludes with a solid proposal of international legal frameworks' ratification and to make some local legal provisions for policy accelerating to reach the SDGs 2030.
