In this file photo taken on December 11, 2019, Myanmar’s State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi stands before the UN’s International Court of Justice next to Abubacarr Tambadou , minister of justice of the Gambia, in the Peace Palace of The Hague, on the second day of her hearing on the Rohingya genocide case.
Presiding judge Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf said that “the court was of the opinion that the Rohingya in Myanmar remain extremely vulnerable” and needed to be protected from further bloodshed. These acts included “killing members of the group” and “deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.”
“This is a historic day today, not just for international law, for the international community, but especially for the Rohingya,” he told reporters outside the court. Suu Kyi also said Myanmar should have time to act on the results of an internal investigation by the country, which this week admitted war crimes may have been committed but ruled out genocide.
Rights groups also hailed the ICJ ruling while calling on the international community to put pressure on Suu Kyi and Myanmar.
