ABSTRACT
The Rohingya crisis presents a highly sensitive mix of humanitarian and legal question international politics. Struggling to provide sanctuary to the Rohingya Muslims who escape ethnic violence in Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, and Malaysia, confront a complex web of legal, political, and security problems. This paper sets out to examine the position of a Rohingya refugee under international and national law and to highlight the insufficient protections that exist due to the fragmented legislative framework that governs refugees in the host states. It also delves into the policy difficulties these countries face such as economic challenges, sociopolitical unrest, and vulnerabilities to security threats. This research paper analyzes how states are responding to the situation in terms of international legal obligations with the aim of resolving the contradiction between humanitarian obligations and national interests. To provide a more effective and rights-based approach to crisis management, the study recommends bolstering policies for regional collaboration, legal recognition of refugees, and increasing international support.
