Abstract:
This study is an exploration of the environmental repercussions caused by the influx of
Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. Despite the welcoming endeavors of Bangladesh towards
the refugees, there have been a number of economic, social and environmental consequences
to be sustained in the region. The basic necessities of the refugees have resulted in a sudden
increase in the use of the natural resources and the lack of any alternative means to procure
these commodities has resulted in noticeable degradation of the environment. The cardinal
goal of the paper is however the assessment of the respective roles of Bangladesh and the
international community at large for the protection and conservation of the environment in
the concerned areas of Cox’s Bazar and the Teknaf Wildlife Sanctuary (TWS). For that
purpose, the concerned domestic laws of Bangladesh has been analyzed along with the
relevant international agreements and principles that govern the responsibility of the
international community for environmental protection.
