The event will be held on October 18
The International Conclave to bring focus on
the issue of justice and accountability for the Rohingyas will be held in
Hague.
The Centre for Peace and Justice (CPJ) of
BRAC University, Asia Justice Coalition, and the International Institute of
Social Studies (ISS) of Erasmus University Rotterdam will organize the event,
said a press release.
The main themes of the international conclave
are Atrocity, Accountability, and Justice.
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 has crossed over for decades, resulting in
Bangladesh accommodating 4.7% of total global refugee population. The
international crimes committed in Myanmar against the Rohingya have triggered a
number of accountability initiatives, including a case before the International
Criminal Court on forced deportation as a crime against humanity.
Aim of the Conclave
To bring justice and accountability to the
Centre of the Rohingya refugee crisis, the Conclave is organized around
discrete but interconnected aims, which include:
1. Highlight the various justice and
accountability initiatives underway globally, as well as the need for
multi-faceted approaches toward a sustainable solution.
2. Mobilize public and policy support for
these initiatives, including consolidating a civil society network to advocate
for accountability and promote social justice.
3. Examine root causes and ongoing policy
challenges in order to inform future advocacy strategies and ensure justice and
accountability for the Rohingya.
