A plea to Bangladesh to ensure birth registration among the Rohingya refugee community. https://t.co/bGvrjXJtfK
— LaetitiavandenAssum (@lvandenassum) 12. August 2018
In April 2018, the government of Bangladesh and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) negotiated a confidential agreement, which included a provision on the registration and documentation of births within the Rohingya refugee populations on the territory of Bangladesh. Yet no Rohingya newborn has been registered or issued any such documentation under this agreement; and, by all accounts, the government has not operationalized the provision. Successive undertakings and statements have been made since April—nevertheless, newborn registration has not taken place.
