Book excerpt: Cross-border refugee movements have international dimensions involving the country of origin and the host country. This book studies the refugee problem originating in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of the then East Pakistan and now Bangladesh. The hill people of this region, mostly Buddhists, under the Pakistanies and Bangladeshis suffered cultural, religious, and economic persecution and ethnic cleansing and sought refuge in India. This book focuses on this post-colonial, post-1947 period, both during the Pakistani and Bangladeshi era with a view to probe the origin of the refugee problem and its subsequent development. It also looks into the refugee experience and goes into the humanitarian and applied dimension of the problem. The book concludes with the author's insight on how such humanitarian emergencies can be anticipated and steps initiated to prevent it so as to minimize the sufferings of forced migration.

Book excerpt: "The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), bordering Bangladesh, India and Myanmar, has always been represented as the region of ethnic conflict and insurgency in Bangladesh. It is the home to eleven indigenous groups of people collectively known as Pahari. Since the migration from neighbouring states of Arakan of Myanmar and Tripura of India, they were politically independent, economically self-sufficient and socially egalitarian. However, the intrusion of British (1860), Pakistan (1947), Bangladesh (1971) and their adopted policies gradually pushed them to the margin of the state. In 1972, the Pahari formed Jono-Samhati Somiti (JSS or People's Solidarity Association) to launch, as they claim, democratic movement for self-determination and regional autonomy of the CHT. The state considered it separatist movement and attempted to control with military action. The JSS also formed Shanti Bahini (SB or peace-troop) in order to respond to military operation. Since then the CHT has turned into the region of conflict and insurgency. After two decades of bloody conflict, the JSS and the state reached a general agreement by singing a 'Peace-Accord' on December 2, 1997 that seemingly put an end to the long-standing insurgency in the region. Aftermath of signing peace-accord, it was expected to have prevailed peace in the CHT but it did not happen so and hence peace is still, even after fifteen years of signing the accord, absent in the lives of inhabitants of the CHT. Why? Politics of Peace seeks to answer to this simple, but important, question." -- Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ‘issue’ of the Chittagong Hill Tracts is as divisive as the region itself. At one end there are tales of woe: how the original inhabitants of the region are being evicted from their land through violence and trickery, their marginalization, and elimination of their traditional way of life simultaneously while it is being exoticized for tourism. These accounts, however, paint a static picture where the members of these ethnic groups are victims, always and without any agency. Consequently these accounts fail to hold up in front of close examination and invites counter-opinion rage: that the Bengali and other ethnicities of CHT are prevented from living in harmony by disruptive elements within the society, that the oppression and repression of the hill peoples are made-up stories that feed national and international conspiracies. In ‘Conflict Mapping in the Chittagong Hill Tracts,’ researchers from the Department of Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Dhaka cut through this fog of confusion by presenting dispassionate, unornamented data. With the help of original data and systematic analysis, they show how the social life of CHT is marked by deep polarization, both within and across the ethnic divide, how it is beset by real and perceived accounts of discrimination and by lack of confidence on state agencies and the rule of law. They also investigate the trajectory of major cases of violence in the region in the past two decades and reveal that these have a common escalation pattern with various points marked by missed opportunities for prevention. Based on a study that draws from a large survey of a cross section of people from 8 of the most crime-prone Upazilas of the region, semi-structured interview of selected elites and analysis of the dynamics of 14 incidents of large-scale violence between 1997 and 2014, this book aims at initiating a healthy, constructive conversation on the issue. It challenges long-held prejudices, common-sense beliefs and unsubstantiated propaganda. By offering the lens of social science, the book invites readers with well-meaning but vague opinions as well as consumers of zealous and spoon-fed ideas to form informed and nuanced opinion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis analyzes the potential application of the United Nations principle of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) in situations of mass atrocities committed against Indigenous peoples. R2P has never been applied in a situation of a mass atrocity committed against Indigenous peoples anywhere in the world and this thesis will question why that is, with reference to and analysis of the case study of the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) region of Bangladesh. The author argues that the conflict in the CHT is a clear case of ethnic cleansing of the area's Indigenous peoples at the behest of the Bangladeshi government, making this an appropriate opportunity for the application of R2P. This thesis uses the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) as a normative framework through which the author assesses the Indigenous right to self-determination as it pertains to mass atrocity prevention and intervention in Indigenous communities. The author evaluates how R2P could be better shaped to address situations of mass atrocities involving Indigenous peoples, and how this paradigm shift may affect future iterations of the Responsibility to Protect as an evolving norm.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little is know about the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh (CHT), an area of approximately 5,089 square miles in southeastern Bangladesh. It is inhabited by indigenous peoples, including the Bawm, Sak, Chakma, Khumi Khyang, Marma, Mru, Lushai, Uchay (also called Mrung, Brong, Hill Tripura), Pankho, Tanchangya and Tripura (Tipra), numbering over half a million. Originally inhabited exclusively by indigenous peoples, the Hill Tracts has been impacted by national projects and programs with dire consequences. This book describes the struggle of the indigenous peoples of the Chittagong Hill Tracts region to regain control over their ancestral land and resource rights. From sovereign nations to the limited autonomy of today, the report details the legal basis of the land rights of the indigenous peoples and the different tools employed by successive administrations to exploit their resources and divest them of their ancestral lands and territories. The book argues that development programs need to be implemented in a culturally appropriate manner to be truly sustainable, and with the consent and participation of the peoples concerned. Otherwise, they only serve to push an already vulnerable people into greater impoverishment and hardship. The devastation wrought by large-scale dams and forestry policies cloaked as development programs is succinctly described in this report, as is the population transfer and militarization. The interaction of all these factors in the process of assimilation and integration is the background for this book, analyzed within the perspective of indigenous and national law, and complemented by international legal approaches. The book concludes with an updateon the developments since the signing of the Peace Accord between the Government of Bangladesh and the Jana Sanghati Samiti (JSS) on December 2, 1997.

Book excerpt: This volume is an account of the life and times in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. It also indicates how people in many regions of the subcontinent have to live their lives following the particular way in which the subcontinent has been decolonized and the politics of the majoritarian nations become the dominant reality in the region. Based on contributions by scholars, journalists, militants and peace activists the book will become a valuable addition to the growing literature on far frontier studies. The volume is an account of the marginalisation and peripheralisation of seemingly inaccessible lands and also a table how areas hiterto considered parts of mainland suddenly find themselves as the distant frontiers to be eternally guarded and suppressed. It shows at the same tine how people of these areas refuse to accept the assigned fate. (Adapted from Publisher's Abstract).

Book excerpt: This Issue Brief from the USCR was written without the benefit of a first-hand visit to the region since the hill tracts have been virtually closed to outsiders for about six years. It is based on accounts by reliable sources who, despite the ban, have some first-hand knowledge of the situation. Refugees from the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) of Bangladesh now occupy five camps in the neighbouring Indian state of Tripura. Their total number swelled in 1987 from approximately 30,000 to some 50,000: 10% of the total tribal population of the hill tracts. Against the background of mutual animosity that has characterized relations between the Bengalis of the plains and the tribal people of the hills for at least 300 years, the paper highlights the major causes of flight of these ethnic minorities into India. It also traces efforts at repatriation and describes conditions in the camps in Tripura as well as recommendations to ameliorate their situation. To begin, the isolated hill forests are described in their historical, geographical perspective. Included are the impacts of British rule, especially the Chittagong Hill Tract Resolution of 1900 which legalized the isolation of the area, and the various movements for autonomy. Certain development projects are analysed since they were viewed by the CHT peoples as benefitting the Bengali plainsmen and introduced their immigration following 1964. The Brief cites a 1986 Amnesty International report that documented military, paramilitary and vigilant attacks against the tribespeople. The last section treats the politics of the refugees in camps in India - past attempts at repatriation - and the conditions in the camps themselves. A list of concrete recommendations and a bibliography complete the report.
