United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, Kelly E. Currie, is scheduled to arrive in Bangladesh today (November 11) for an official visit through November 18 to assess the deteriorating human rights situation in Myanmar.

According to a press release, the visit will primarily focus on conditions in Rakhine State, internal armed conflicts in Myanmar, the plight of Rohingya refugees, and potential avenues for future cooperation.

The release noted that Currie had officially sought permission to visit Myanmar, but the ruling junta government informed her that they were not prepared to facilitate the visit.

During her stay in Bangladesh, the UN envoy is scheduled to hold meetings with government officials, civil society representatives, victims, and survivors. Her itinerary includes high-level discussions in Dhaka, followed by visits to Cox's Bazar and the Rohingya refugee camps located there.

At the conclusion of her visit on November 18, Currie will brief the media at a press conference.

She is set to present her subsequent report to the UN Human Rights Council in March 2027.
