Summary/Abstract: On May 29, 2012, the violence following the allegations that a Buddhist woman was raped by three Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine (Arakan) province put the Rohingya people on the agenda of the international public. The transformation of attacks by state and state-sponsored activists against Rohingya people into ethnic cleansing operations has brought with it a great tragedy of humanity. With operations, thousands of Rohingya people lost their lives for nearly six years, leaving hundreds of thousands of homes to shelter in neighboring countries. Rohingya people came to the world agenda with these events. But it is possible to say there are historical background of the living. Because Rohingya people are the minority group that has been subjected to the most discrimination and violence since the establishment of the modern Myanmar state. Despite the fact that violence and discrimination have attracted more international public reaction in recent years, the Myanmar government continues to ignore and destroy the Rohingya people. This situation has made it an important requirement that the Rohingya tragedy be evaluated in international legal dimension. In this context, firstly Rohingya politics of Myanmar will be discussed and then how the event will be evaluated in the context of international law. From this point of view, in this study, firstly Rohingya politics of Myanmar will be discussed and then how the event will be evaluated in the context of international law.
