YPF-HARVARD DIALOGUE: INTERNATIONAL
INACTION OVER THE ROHINGYA CRISIS

“International Inaction over the Rohingya Crisis” was Youth Policy Forum’s first Rohingya Advocacy panel in partnership with a student society in a reputed institution abroad. The webinar was hosted in collaboration with Harvard-UNICEF, in an effort to shine light on the growing challenges in the Rohingya crisis that had been further complicated with the onset of an unprecedented military coup in Myanmar earlier. The panel thrust forward a critical question – are the fearful, fighting Rohingyas forgotten?

The panel was a first in Youth Policy Forum in directly engaging with a member of the Rohingya in dialogue, and it brought together stakeholders from across the board to discuss the legal implications of the Rohingya Crisis in the aftermath of the coup. The panelists viewed a presentation on the legal aspects of the Rohingya Crisis, after which they engaged in an extensive dialogue regarding the Rohingya Crisis, touching on a variety of topics ranging from how to spur international inaction to the necessity of repatriation.
