The genocide against Rohingya shows no sign of abating, the Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK (BROUK) said in a new briefing today, timed to coincide with Myanmar’s duty to report to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on how it is preventing genocidal acts against the minority group in Rakhine State.
Myanmar’s continued noncompliance with the ICJ’s provisional measures comes at a high human cost – the lives not only of Rohingya, but of people across the entire country. It is imperative that the ICJ takes bold steps to reinforce its provisional measures and ensure robust and transparent monitoring of their implementation. The international community must pursue all available avenues for international justice and accountability for the Rohingya and all people in Myanmar.
