In early 2024, as the military ceded territorial control over most parts of Rakhine State to the Arakan Army (AA), the group emerged as a new oppressor of the Rohingya. The AA is an ethnic armed organization operating in Arakan State (now referred to as Rakhine State). The group claims to be fighting for a federal system of states. However, with the way it is oppressing the Rohingya, it has become a substitute for the Tatmadaw.

Since gaining territorial control, the AA has inflicted severe violence on the Rohingya population, including mass killings, sexual abuses, arbitrary detention, pillaging, and the destruction of villages. As a result, more than 150,000 have been forced to flee to Bangladesh. The AA continues to commit serious human rights violations against the Rohingya population in Rakhine State. International human rights bodies and experts have accused the AA of perpetrating grave abuses against Rohingya civilians in areas under its control.

RRR jointly signed a statement with other 19 CSOs, calling on the international community and the International Criminal Court (ICC), to:

1. Act effectively, accompanied by necessary measures to stop the ongoing violence and prevent further atrocities.

2..Urgently work to ensure the immediate release of Rohingya detainees who were arbitrarily sentenced and detained by the Arakan Army.

3. Actively investigate these inhumane acts and document evidence of the arbitrary detention, torture, and persecution of Rohingya civilians by the AA.

Proving the Intent to Destroy: New Rohingya Genocide Prevention Research Network Policy Brief

Genocide is one of the most serious crimes under international law. To establish it, two elements must be demonstrated:
• The Act (Actus Reus): the concrete actions committed against a protected group.
• The Intent (Mens Rea): the specific intention to destroy the group, in whole or in part.

In its latest policy brief, the Rohingya Genocide Prevention Research Network (RGPRN) presents a comprehensive, evidence-based analysis showing how the Myanmar military’s actions against the Rohingya meet both criteria, in line with ICJ International Court of Justice (ICJ) jurisprudence.

📄 Key Findings:
1️⃣ Genocidal Acts: Documented mass killings, widespread sexual violence, and the systematic destruction of Rohingya villages.
2️⃣ Genocidal Intent: The intent to destroy the Rohingya, in whole or in part, is inferred from the scale, coordination, and selective targeting of these crimes.
3️⃣ Legal Conclusion: These acts meet the high threshold of the 1948 Genocide Convention, confirming that the crisis is legally genocide, not merely ethnic cleansing.

As the ICJ hearings in The Gambia v. Myanmar continue, this brief provides a critical resource for policymakers, diplomats, human rights advocates, and the global community to understand the full scope and legal significance of these crimes.

URGENT DATA ALERT: ROHINGYA CRISIS ESCALATION – DECEMBER 2025

The Center for Rohingya Crisis Studies / Rohingya Genocide Prevention Research Network Monitoring Team confirms a critical deterioration of the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar, Bangladesh, and the region during December 2025. Conditions show rising famine risk, shrinking asylum space, and humanitarian collapse.

Key Findings:
• 400,000+ Rohingya in Rakhine face pre-famine conditions, surviving on wild foods, debt, and minimal aid.
• 1.1 million refugees in Bangladesh face cuts to food, health, and education, while camp insecurity and gender-based violence rise.
• Regional asylum is shrinking: India continues detention & deportation, Malaysia expands immigration raids, and Indonesia faces local resistance. ASEAN remains largely inactive.
• International action remains mostly rhetorical, with funding gaps persisting and Rohingya voices absent from decision-making forums.

This evidence underscores the urgent need for predictable humanitarian funding, safe access, Rohingya inclusion, and accountability mechanisms. The crisis is no longer managed—it is being normalized amid inaction.

As moves toward elections scheduled from December 2025 through January 2026, violence involving resistance forces remains widespread across the country. The military is seeking to recapture as much territory as possible ahead of the vote, while resistance to military rule continues across much of Myanmar, particularly in rural areas.

Armed resistance groups opposing the elections have said they will not allow polls to take place in areas they control, heightening the risk of violence before and after the vote. Military repression of civilians has also increased in the lead-up to the elections, including the arrest of over 100 civilians under its new election protection law.

There can be no legitimate election without justice."

The Rohingya Genocide Prevention Research Network and Center for Rohingya Crisis Studies have issued an urgent warning to the international community regarding the Myanmar military’s plan for a 2025 election.

Let us be clear: This is not a political solution. It is a military tactic to legitimize their rule and shield themselves from accountability for crimes against humanity.

By excluding the Rohingya and crushing the opposition, the junta is trying to create a democracy in name only built on the graves of its own citizens.

We urge our friends, allies, and international partners to reject this sham process. We must deny the junta the legitimacy they are desperate for.

Please share this report to help us pressure the UN and ASEAN to act.

OCTOBER MONTHLY REPORT IS OUT
On the Edge of Collapse: The Rohingya Crisis in September 2025

Our latest report documents a month of escalating conflict, humanitarian breakdown, and shrinking regional protection for Rohingya communities across Arakan (Rakhine), Bangladesh, and Southeast Asia.

Key Highlights
September brought renewed global attention through the UN High-Level Conference in New York yet conditions on the ground worsened dramatically.

In Rakhine State:
• Fighting between the junta and the Arakan Army (AA) intensified.
• Villages burned, aid blocked, and families starved as part of scorched-earth tactics.
• Over 400,000+ people now face emergency-level food insecurity, with rice prices doubling and health services collapsing.

In Bangladesh:
• The Joint Response Plan remains only 38% funded, triggering more ration cuts.
• 58% of refugees report feeling unsafe; 84% reject return without justice and citizenship.
• Clinics, schools, and livelihoods continue to shut down as donors pull back.

Across the Region:
• India expanded deportations; Malaysia prolonged detention; Indonesia faced growing hostility toward new arrivals.
• The asylum corridor is closing — leaving Rohingya with no safe place to go.

CRCS, in partnership with RoGPRN and reviewed by Myanmar Witness, calls for urgent, coordinated action:
Predictable funding, Rohingya inclusion, and real accountability to prevent the crisis from tipping into irreversible collapse.
