Abstract

This research discusses the conflict of human trafficking that occurred in Myanmar, the victims of which are minority groups in Myanmar, namely the Rohingya minority group. This study used a qualitative approach by collecting relevant sources through journal articles, book references, and news obtained through social media in the form of websites. The content of this study discusses several cases in Rohingya, especially cases of human trafficking experienced by the Rohingya ethnic group in Myanmar. The response from the Myanmar government and the international community is also presented in this study. This study provides results on the conflict between the Rohingya ethnic group and the Myanmar government, the policies in force in Myanmar that are considered discriminatory against the Rohingya ethnic group which ultimately led to human trafficking in Myanmar against the Rohingya ethnic group. In responding to this problem, the Myanmar government is considered not serious and does not side with the Rohingya minority group in its country. The minimal role of the Myanmar government and the international community has caused this problem to continue. In concluding this problem, this study discusses the resolution of the conflict between the Myanmar government and the Rohingya minority group in Myanmar, the need for increased protection for minority groups in Myanmar, especially the Rohingya ethnic group, and the need for legal force to be enforced against human trafficking in Myanmar.
