The Arakan Project - Submission to the UN Universal Periodic Review

This document raises concern over Myanmar's non-compliance with its international human rights obligations with regard to the Rohingya population in North Rakhine State and, in particular, the 1982 Citizenship Law which deprives the Rohingya of their rights to citizenship, legitimising discrimination and arbitrary treatment against them such as restriction on movement, on marriage and pregnancy,arbitrary detention, forced labour, and denial of socio-economic rights.
