Rohingya survivors expect UN’s highest court to find Myanmar committed genocide

Rohingya survivors of the 2017 military crackdown in Myanmar expect the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the United Nations’ highest court, to rule the country committed genocide against them, they said on Friday.

A judgment is expected in three-to-six months’ time following three weeks of hearings at the court in the Hague that is also known as the World Court.

The outcome of the case will have repercussions beyond Myanmar, including affecting South Africa’s genocide case at the court against Israel over the war in Gaza.
