Myanmar has been accused of genocide at the U.N.’s highest court for its campaign against the country’s Rohingya Muslim minority. More than 700,000 Rohingya have fled to neighboring Bangladesh to escape what has been called an ethnic cleansing campaign.

-FILE- In this Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2017, file photo members of Myanmar's Rohingya ethnic minority walk through rice fields after crossing the border into Bangladesh near Cox's Bazar's Teknaf area. Gambia has filed a case at the United Nations' highest court in The Hague, Netherlands, Monday, Nov. 11, 2019, accusing Myanmar of genocide in its campaign against the Rohingya Muslim minority.

Tambadou said in a statement: “Gambia is taking this action to seek justice and accountability for the genocide being committed by Myanmar against the Rohingya, and to uphold and strengthen the global norm against genocide that is binding upon all states.” The International Criminal Court’s prosecutor also asked judges at that court in July for permission to open a formal investigation into alleged crimes against humanity committed against Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar.

Simon Adams, Executive Director of the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect, welcomed the filing.
