United Nations Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in Myanmar, Kelly E. Currie, will visit Bangladesh from November 11 to 18 to assess the impact of the deteriorating human rights situation in the neighbouring country.
During the visit, she will focus particularly on the ongoing armed conflict in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, the situation of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh and prospects for future cooperation on these issues.
Currie is scheduled to meet government officials, civil society representatives, victims and survivors during her visit. She will also travel to Dhaka and Cox’s Bazar and visit several Rohingya refugee camps in the district.
Earlier, she formally requested permission to visit Myanmar. However, the country’s current authorities informed her that they were not prepared to allow the visit.
At the end of her Bangladesh trip, Currie will hold a press conference on November 18 to share her observations.
She is scheduled to present her next report on Myanmar’s human rights situation to the UN Human Rights Council in March 2027.
