1992 MOU between Myanmar and Bangladesh on repatriation of refugees

[peggyb...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I don't suppose anyone has or knows where I could find a copy of the 1992 MOU between Myanmar and Bangladesh on return of refugees, or the MOUs from the following year between Myanmar and UNHCR?

Thanks,
Peggy

Thanks for the document Eugene. 

Bear in mind that she said 1993 deal. The 1992 was shelved in January 2012 after UNHCR pulled out due to concerns about forced repatriations. New MoUswere then signed with UNHCR in 1993 - with Bangladesh in May 93, and with Myanmar in November 1993, so she is probably referring to the the latter of those. Indeed, the 92 bilateral MoU was attached to the Bangladesh-UNHCR 93 agreement, and may have been attached to the Myanmar one too, but I am not sure. 

I'm attaching a study that details some of this (see pages 13-15 especially). It is also available in clearer HTML format here: http://www.burmalibrary.org/docs/Abrar-repatriation.htm

Does anyone have copies of UNHCR's MoUs with Bangladesh (May 93) and Myanmar (Nov 93)?

Also, we should note that the Bangladesh Foreign Minister (speaking at the UNGA yesterday) did not repeat a committment to the 93 terms. She called for comprehensive UN action to create "safe zones". I have not read up on it in detail yet. 

It would be great to stay up to date with anyone working on this. I have no immediate project but am watching and engaged. 

Thanks

Hi all,

Does anyone of you already have the copy of it? I am also looking for such file but I couldn't find it. I would be glad to know if you have.

Thanks,

Hi all

I have located the ’92 bilateral agreement between GOM and GOB, and the recent ’17 deal. 

I am looking for the UNHCR agreements of ’93 - one with GOB and one with GOM.

Hi Kim,

Thank you for these documents. I am still looking for the same documents as well for my research.

I will share with everyone once I already have one.
