Our rights are gabriel is on the thank you for that update from washington. Leader has rejected i. Q. Stations of genocide by her government against ring of minorities as misleading to cheat all the International Court of justice the military has been conducting a legitimate operation against armed groups in Rakhine States when he reports from the. State council and head of government arrived at the International Court of justice she was welcomed by supporters chanting we stand with you. But anyone hoping that Aung San Suu Kyi a Nobel Peace Prize winner would take this opportunity to at last stand with the reading would be disappointed in opening me a mass defense against genocide charges she said the picture the gambia presented to the court was misleading and incomplete the situation in rakhine is complex and not easy to fathom but one thing surely touches on the 1st equally the sufferings of the many innocent people whose eyes the torn apart as a consequence of the Armed Conflicts of 206070 in particular those who have had to flee their homes and their knowledge living in camps and cox is bizarre. That was as far as the sympathy went for the ring get 700000 of whom were forced to flee to neighboring bangladesh after a crackdown by the Myanmar Military suchi again refused to use the word when describing the mainly Muslim Minority ethnic group a denial of identity is proof say experts of genocidal intent on tuesday the gambia open the case with harrowing allegations of rape torture and murder by Security Forces in attacks on reading to communities in 2017 sujit didnt respond to those specific allegations but said any wrongdoing did not amount to genocide and would be dealt with in me and mob outside who supporters also werent interested in discussing the alleged crimes. Im not sure to feel whether i believe or not we are here just to keep the body and we have complete faith and trust it with decision but it was she said that if she does its going to be a good book and it will. Be gambia says the ring there are facing an ongoing threat of genocide and desires the court to order beyond march to take steps to guarantee their safety in response me and lawyers called on the judges to reject the application in a speech on sun sujit gave a brief History Lesson on Rakhine State and spoke about the complexity of the problem there but she again failed to address the root cause the ring there have been continued to be discriminated against as Illegal Immigrants with little or no status or rights and until those things are addressed they security will continue to be at risk on a historic day at the worlds top court this one time campaigner for human rights provided little hope for the ring and she provided little evidence that shes interested in salvaging whats left of her reputation wayne hay al jazeera the hague.
