The United Nations’ highest court is ruling on whether to proceed with a landmark case that accuses Myanmar’s rulers of genocide against the country’s mainly Muslim Rohingya minority.
THE HAGUE - The World Court on Friday (July 22) rejected Myanmar's objections to a genocide case over its treatment of the Muslim Rohingya minority, paving the way for the case to be heard in full. Myanmar, now ruled by a military junta that seized power in 2021, had argued that Gambia, which brought the suit, had no standing to.
