Abstract

Abstract Liberal democracy and human rights are interlinked. However, the human rights of Rohingya are openly neglected in Myanmar's democratic process under Aung San Suu Kyi. This paper focuses on state-sponsored comprehensive human rights abuses of Rohingya in Myanmar when the country has returned to official democracy in 2015. Studies on state sponsored human rights violation of Rohingya in Myanmar remains limited to few topics. Existing studies does not focus adequately on the links between democracy and human rights violations of Rohingya in Myanmar. This paper argues that the human rights of Rohingya in Myanmar are regularly abused due to the ineffectiveness of the human rights institutions, absence of democratic culture and minority rights, and militarism in Myanmar's democracy. Therefore, concerned stakeholders should rethink making relations between Myanmar's style of democracy and human rights and find out alternative ways to ensure the human rights of Rohingya in Myanmar.

缅甸罗兴亚人的民主与人权

自由民主和人权是相互联系的。然而，在昂山素季领导下的缅甸民主进程中，罗兴亚人的人权被公开忽视。本文关注的是2015年缅甸恢复官方民主后，国家支持的罗兴亚人全面侵犯人权的情况。关于缅甸国家支持的罗兴亚人侵犯人权的研究仍然局限于少数几个主题。现有研究没有充分关注缅甸民主与侵犯罗兴亚人人权之间的联系。本文认为，由于缅甸人权制度的无效性、民主文化和少数民族权利的缺失以及缅甸民主中的军国主义，缅甸罗兴亚人的人权经常遭到滥用。因此，相关利益攸关方应重新思考缅甸民主风格与人权之间的关系，并寻找其他途径来确保缅甸罗兴亚人的人权。

期刊介绍： Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs is a peer reviewed research journal produced by the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA) as part of its publication programme. Published since 1979, the journalhas firmly established itself as a highly respected and widely acclaimed academic and scholarly publication providing accurate, reliable and objective information. Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs provides a forum for frank but responsible discussion of issues relating to the life of Muslims in non-Muslim societies. The journalhas become increasingly influential as the subject of Muslim minorities has acquired added significance. About 500 million Muslims, fully one third of the world Muslim population of 1.5 billion, live as minorities in 149 countries around the globe. Even as minorities they form significant communities within their countries of residence. What kind of life do they live? What are their social, political and economic problems? How do they perceive their strengths and weakness? What above all, is their future in Islam and in the communities of their residence? The journal explores these and similar questions from the Muslim and international point of view in a serious and responsible manner.
