SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the human rights violations against one minority group in Myanmar - the Rohingya - by the majority Buddhist Rakhinese population with central government support, in order to call the international community to pursue immediate, cohesive diplomatic action to address this humanitarian crisis in Rakhine state. The scope of this thesis, which is organized in five chapters, focuses on the early 21 st century from 2000 - 2014, but it includes earlier background information on Myanmar and the plight of the Rohingya. This thesis includes a Preface, which contains maps and images of Myanmar and its people, for the benefit of the reader.
