UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, Kelly E. Currie, arrives in Dhaka today, Wednesday, November 11, 2026, for an eight-day official mission in Bangladesh lasting until November 18.
The visit comes after the ruling military junta in Myanmar refused her entry request, stating they were not prepared to host the UN delegation. Consequently, the envoy’s mission will focus on evaluating the regional impact of Myanmar's deteriorating human rights landscape, the ongoing armed conflict in Rakhine State, the plight of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, and prospective avenues for international cooperation.
