UN rights envoy visits Bangladesh November 11–18 over Myanmar crisis.
UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar Kelley E. Currie will visit Bangladesh from November 11 to 18 to assess the impact of Myanmar's deteriorating human rights situation on the country.
The visit will focus particularly on developments in Rakhine State, the broader armed conflict in Myanmar, the situation of Rohingya refugees and opportunities for future cooperation, according to a media advisory issued on Tuesday.
Currie formally requested access to Myanmar for a country visit, but the regime informed her that it was not ready to accommodate the visit, the advisory said.
During her stay in Bangladesh, the Special Rapporteur will meet government officials, civil society representatives, victims and survivors, among others.
Her itinerary includes engagements in Dhaka and visits to Cox's Bazar and Rohingya camps in the district.
She will hold a press conference on November 18 at the conclusion of her visit.
The Special Rapporteur is scheduled to present her next report to the UN Human Rights Council in March 2027.
