What does the recent ICJ decision regarding Myanmar mean for Rohingya refugees?

Rohingya human rights activist Razia Sultana talks to Shuprova Tasneem from The Daily Star on Rohingya Genocide Remembrance Day.

Mass rapes, the burning alive of Rohingya families in their homes and the killing of children were described by The Gambia’s legal team as it set out its genocide case against Myanmar at the highest UN court yesterday.

Shirin Huq, a Bangladeshi rights activist present at the International Court of Justice hearing in The Hague, says the atmosphere in the courtroom is electric, as the Gambian team presents their case against the Union of Myanmar under Article 9 of the Genocide Convention.

The Gambia accuses Myanmar of breaching the 1948 genocide convention and urged the UN top court to order Myanmar to stop genocide against the Rohingya minority.
