It aims to alert and inform the international community about the imminent threat of genocide against the Rohingya people of Myanmar. According to the United Nations, the Rohingya are today one of the most persecuted minorities in the world5. Information about the various Islamic communities in the country is scant and severely limited due to the ban on freedom of the media by the Burmese government11.

The Rohingya population explosion is laughable when you consider that the Rohingya make up less than 2% of the total Burmese population90. The consistently inhumane and illegal response by neighboring countries has served to deepen the dehumanization of the Rohingya in the region as a whole.
The mistreatment of the Rohingya also extended to Bangladesh, which twice ignored their plight and repatriated hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees in the 1970s and 1990s. 103 See elsewhere in this report on the treatment of the Rohingya in Bangladesh and Thailand. In the previous sections, it became clear that the large-scale and systematic persecution of the Rohingya was planned, prepared and carried out by the Burmese authorities, both centrally and locally in Rakhine State.
In light of the international community's refusal to comply with Burmese wishes to 'take over' the Rohingya community as a whole, more killings seem inevitable129. The Burmese authorities are apparently keeping a close eye on the impact that the violence against the Rohingya can have on the attitude of the international community. All the villages in the area were searched and women who were hiding were arrested.
148 The intensity of the violence was such that one journalist did not hesitate to use the term "genocide"; see http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com genocide-and-ethnic-cleansing-of-the-rohingya-people-in-myanmar/.
LEGAL ANALYSIS
Will the international community gamble with the lives of nearly a million Rohingya and accept the denials of the Burmese government. The effect of Burma's Nationality Act 1982 is to make it almost impossible for Rohingya to acquire citizenship. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child states that every child "shall have from birth... the right to acquire a nationality".
According to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, genocide is "the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious or national group". From the dehumanization and organization sections it is clear that the actions of the Burmese authorities are systematic and well planned169. Finally, as a result of mass deportations in the past, but also low-intensity deportations, causing thousands of Rohingya to receive them frequently.
In light of the protracted, systematic and deliberate campaign to kill or expel Rohingya, it can be said that the conditions have been met170. As a result of the violence, the police carried out arbitrary arrests, which involved police brutality and torture. As a result of the evictions, Rohingya were victims of slavery, human and sex trafficking, and forced labor, which also resulted in deaths.
Based on the extensive documentation presented in this report, it has been determined that this second requirement has also been met. As a result of the evictions, there has been enormous destruction of property. through arson and the destruction of villages. In rural areas, there are reports of checkpoints and controls that have restricted the freedom of movement of the Rohingya172.
Measures to prevent births and thereby limit the size of the Rohingya population have been officially announced. Based on the above, it can be said that the conditions for this requirement have also been met. e) Forcible transfer of children in the group to another group. To date, there have been no reports of Rohingya children being transferred to other groups.
CONCLUSION
After futile attempts at forced and mass expulsion and similarly fruitless attempts to get them accepted by the UNHCR or any other country outside of Burma, it is clear that the continued intent to get rid of the Rohingya points to the likelihood of mass killings. As the above facts show, the organization and steps to carry out such an operation were already in place, as evidenced by the concentration of large numbers of Rohingya in large camps and the reported order to arrest and kill all men and boys over 10 years old. This report therefore argues that there is good evidence that prima facie genocide is currently occurring in Burma, or at least.
An order was recently issued by the Burmese authorities to round up all males over the age of 10, and it was foreign diplomatic pressure that eventually succeeded in halting the implementation of the order for the time being. The question remains, how long will the Rohingya genocide be avoided by the inaction of the Burmese state and the international community.
