A new report from United Against Inhumanity (UAI) and the United Nations Association – UK (UNA-UK) presents the findings of a multi-stakeholder workshop convened 5 September 2025, entitled ‘Alternative approaches to the Rohingya refugee situation’.
Myanmar’s Rohingya population has been denied citizenship rights and subjected to systematic exclusion and mass expulsion for decades, with the result that most of its approximately three million people are now to be found in other states.
Responses to the crisis have been predominantly short term and humanitarian, focused on meeting the basic needs of those displaced outside and within Myanmar. This approach has been inadequate. A broader strategy is now required, simultaneously addressing the political, security and developmental dimensions of the situation.
This paper and its recommendations are submitted for consideration by participants at an international conference on the situation of Rohingya and other minorities in Myanmar, being held at the UN General Assembly in New York on 30 September 2025.
