Aung San Suu Kyi to defend Myanmar in genocide case
The justice minister of Gambia appealed to the U.N.’s top court on Tuesday to recognize that genocide against Myanmar’s Rohingya minority took place and to ensure it does not continue, while Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi prepared to defend the actions of her country’s military.
“This is a stain on our collective conscience, and it will be irresponsible for any of us to simply look the other way and pretend that it is not our business,” he said.Gambia, a nation in West Africa, filed the case in the world court on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. Myanmar has strongly denied the charges but says it stands ready to take action against wrongdoers if there is sufficient evidence.A recent statement on the website of the nation’s Ministry of the Interior said the renewed international pressure was due to a lack of understanding of “the complexities of the issue and the narratives of the people of Myanmar.”
Suu Kyi, who was awarded the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize for championing democracy and rights under Myanmar’s then-ruling junta, sat attentively in the front row as Gambia’s representatives made their case. She is leading the Myanmar delegation to The Hague in her capacity as foreign minister. A group of seven fellow Nobel Peace Prize winners has called on Suu Kyi “to publicly acknowledge the crimes, including genocide, committed against the Rohingya. We are deeply concerned that instead of condemning these crimes, Aung San Suu Kyi is actively denying that these atrocities even occurred. “
