DFID's work on Bangladesh, Burma and the Rohingya crisis inquiry

Part 1 - the Rohingya crisis and monsoon preparedness in Cox's Bazar The Committee expressed grave concern in its Report about the potential return of 100,000 Rohingya to Burma without a clear understanding of their legal status, interim and/or final destination, or even whether they have volunteered for the return trip. The Report also concluded that rape and sexual violence remain weapons of war used by the Burmese military but the UK has been too slow to act.
