Myanmar’s State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi will lead a team to the Hague to fight a case alleging the country committed genocide against the Rohingya
State Counsellor of Myanmar Aung San Suu Kyi attends the 22nd ASEAN Plus Three Summit in Bangkok, Thailand, November 4, 2019.
The complaint accuses Myanmar of breaching the 1948 UN Genocide Convention through its brutal military campaign in 2017, which targeted the Rohingya Muslim minority in Rakhine state. Some 740,000 Rohingya were forced to flee into sprawling camps in Bangladesh after the brutal 2017 military crackdown, in violence that United Nations investigators concluded amounted to genocide.The case will be the first international legal attempt to bring Myanmar to justice over the Rohingya crisis, and is a rare example of a country suing another over an issue to which it is not directly a party.Gambia's effort is one of several legal challenges mounting against Myanmar.
This is under "universal jurisdiction," a legal principle which holds that some crimes are so horrific, they can be tried anywhere.
