Administrative Development: A Journal of HIPA, ShimlaSummary: This article examines the predicament of statelessness faced by the Rohingya community, situating their plight within the framework of human rights and international law. The Rohingyas, a Muslim minority from Myanmar’s Rakhine State, have long been denied citizenship under the 1982 Myanmar Citizenship Law, rendering them stateless and vulnerable to persecution. Their displacement has led to mass migrations into Bangladesh, India, and other neighboring countries, creating one of the world’s most pressing humanitarian crises. The study highlights how statelessness exacerbates poverty, insecurity, and marginalization, while limiting access to education, healthcare, and legal protection. From a human rights perspective, the paper underscores the obligations of states and international organizations to safeguard the rights of stateless persons, while also addressing the challenges of host countries in balancing humanitarian concerns with domestic governance. By situating the Rohingya crisis within broader debates on statelessness, refugee protection, and global justice, the article calls for coordinated international action to resolve one of the most enduring human rights challenges of the 21st century.. Statelessness is a scenario where individuals do not have political and civil extended which entails then in difficult position to seek recourse during the adversities impugned upon them. Reproduced
