Abstract:
The Rohingya, sometimes referred to as the „most
persecuted people in the world‟, in 2017, once again,
faced violence in Myanmar and many have been forced
into displacement across international borders. More
recently, in August 2018, they were in the spotlight as
they observed the „anniversary‟ of the spate of mass
displacements. The violence faced by this group is of
extreme proportions and has persisted over many decades.
This article examines the issue of the Rohingya of
Myanmar from the lens of global ethics and International
Relations. The solution to this humanitarian crisis does
not seem to be coming from inside the borders of the
country. From outside, there exists the possibility of
international intervention on humanitarian grounds. The
article explores a possible framework for such an
intervention by examining interests of the intervening
states and those of the people of the intervened state.
