(Warning: graphic content) The lawyer presenting a genocide case against Myanmar said the country had not even tried to deny most of the accusations of extreme violence made against its military regarding Rohingya Muslims
THE HAGUE - Myanmar cannot be trusted to hold its soldiers accountable for alleged atrocities against its Rohingya Muslim minority, and measures to stop the violence need to be taken immediately, a lawyer presenting a genocide case against it said on Thursday.
Statements from Myanmar that it was taking action to prosecute soldiers accused of wrongdoing were incredible, he said. More than 730,000 Rohingya fled Myanmar to Bangladesh after the military launched its crackdown. The U.N. investigators have said 10,000 people may have been killed. She said that even if there had been violations of humanitarian law during what she described as an internal conflict, they did not rise to the level of genocide and were not covered by the 1948 convention.
Suu Kyi and her team will have several hours to formulate a rebuttal and final statement. The court has not set a date for a decision on provisional measures, but one could come in January.
