Abstract
This blog post explores the relationship between COVID-19 and the Responsibility to Protect Rohingya Refugees.
Currently, over 900,000 Rohingya refugees reside in Cox’s Bazar after fleeing persecution and genocide by the Myanmar military.
There are currently no intensive care medical facilities in any of the camps in Cox’s Bazar, nor are there adequate means by which to clean hands or socially distance, both of which are vital for protection from COVID-19.
We call for a responsibility-sharing mechanism to be introduced to the R2P in order to ensure greater collective liability for displaced populations amongst global actors.
