Myanmar cannot be trusted to put its own soldiers on trial for alleged genocide, says Gambia's lead lawyer at the ICJ
Myanmar's leader Aung San Suu Kyi leaves the International Court of Justice after addressing judges on the second day of three days of hearings in The Hague, Netherlands on Wednesday, December 11, 2019.
Paul Reichler, said Myanmar had not even tried during the hearings to deny most of the accusations of extreme violence made against its military, known officially as the Tatmadaw, nor of the mass deportation of Rohingya following a 2017 crackdown. He was referring to the findings of UN investigators who in an August 2018 report said the Myanmar military had carried out killings and mass rape with "genocidal intent" in the 2017 operation. Gambia's legal team had outlined graphic testimony from their report at the first day of hearings on Tuesday.
Outside the ornate Peace Palace in The Hague that houses the court, protesters from both sides lined up on Thursday, shouting "Mother Suu, be healthy", and "Aung San Suu Kyi, shame on you" as the Myanmar delegation left the premises.
