| dc.description.abstract | The right of ethnic minorities, particularly those of the Rohingyas, have been continually
and repeatedly denied in Myanmar. When Aung San Suu Kyi’s party came into power,
the right of various ethnic groups, especially the rights of Rohingyas during Suu Kyi’s
regime were violated. Unfortunately, the conditions for the Rohingya have continued
to worsen. The findings of this research show that the human rights of Rohingya in
Myanmar were challenged during Aung San Suu Kyi’s so-called democratic regime via
ethnic cleansing owing to the absence of real democratic norms, unequal treatment,
and state-sponsored violations of human rights against the Rohingya community.
The key reasons behind the failure to ensure the rights of the ethnic Muslim minority
include militarism in the democratic structure, a lack of democratic institutions,
international politics and the interest of powerful countries, a lack of democratic
culture, and an aggressive attitude towards the Rohingya. Finally, the paper proposes
some policy implications. | en_US |
