Rohingyas' Genocide Justice and Evidence Preservation; Is this fair?: Europe, Asia and the Battle for FIFA's Impartiality after the 2026 World Cup

As the world continues going down an uncertain path, marked by diplomatic conflict, great power competition, rapid technological development, and ever-necessary coordination over international issues like climate change, STEAR’s analysts attempt to foster pragmatic dialogue. This piece from the editorial team, thus, delivers coverage of two highly relevant topics this year.

The social policy team covers the persistent tragedy of the Rohingya minority in Myanmar. Ever since the highly lethal escalation in 2017, the country’s military junta has shown intention to stabilise the situation. However, challenges still stand regarding poor living conditions in refugee camps, systemic discrimination within the Rakhine State and pressure to flee. It is in this context, our team aims to find institutional solutions for continuous de-escalation and humanitarian improvement

for the minority.

Lastly, the foreign policy team examines a hot topic in the sports world. As FIFA, the world’s premier football governing body, proposes to privatise a portion of the organisation, public backlash over corruption in the sport has increased. Carrying strong implications on poor fan-service and private influence in football, our team aims to explore FIFA’s role as a legitimate representative of the sport and propose amendments into how it is governed.
