Rohingya genocide

Despite the U.N. secretary-general’s visit to Bangladesh this week, the outlook for Rohingya refugees remains bleak.

An Argentine court considers Aung San Suu Kyi complicit in the Rohingya genocide of 2017. The NUG rejects that – and, worryingly, so do some Rohingya advocacy groups.

Included among the 25 names was junta chief Min Aung Hlaing and former State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi, whom he overthrew in a coup in 2021.

The arrest warrant against junta chief Min Aung Hlaing only addresses a tiny portion of the crimes committed by the Myanmar armed forces.

During his long career, Tin Oo played important roles on both sides of the struggle between the military and the pro-democracy movement.

The U.N.'s human rights office says that tens of thousands have been forcibly displaced in what one expert described as a "hate-driven unnatural disaster."

In November 2019, the Gambia initiated proceedings against Myanmar at the International Court of Justice. More than four years later, the process drags on.

“It is high time that the world takes action to end the genocide against the Rohingya, starting with supporting the international justice efforts.”

The Rohingya issue has become deeply politicized, but there are still possible solutions at hand.

A case in Argentina, under the principle of universal jurisdiction, seeks to hold Myanmar's leaders accountable for the atrocities committed against the Rohingya people.

Foreign governments need to make good on their pledges to intervene in the Rohingya genocide case at the International Court of Justice.

The ICJ rejected the Myanmar government’s argument that Gambia had no standing to file the case.
