regarding especially the Rohingya minority in Myanmar. As Rohingya crisis in Myanmar is a
contemporary and crucial issue not only in South and Southeast Asia but also in the world; that is
why, it has been selected as a research topic. This study is conducted in qualitative approach. In this
study, secondary sources have been used for data collection which is based on content analysis. Text
books, journal articles, reports of government and non-government organizations, television and
newspaper reports are the main sources of data. In this study it has been found that the Rohingya
people are considered as the world’s least wanted groups. They are the world’s most persecuted
minorities. About 43 percent of the Rohingyas are still refugees and of them 87 percent are deprived
from basic needs. The main objectives of the study are: (i) to examine the root causes of ethnic
conflict; (ii) to analyze the current humanitarian vulnerability of the Rohingyas. Rohingya conflict
begins with mainly the denial of separate identities and rejection of their citizenship. A large
number of Rohingyas are now stateless refugees who are too much vulnerable. The study will reveal
the current vulnerable conditions of the Rohingyas. The findings of the study may help the different
global organizations of human rights in policy supports for the Rohingyas..."
