World’s top court to rule if Myanmar committed genocide against Rohingya
The International Court of Justice will rule on Thursday, nearly a decade after Myanmar's military campaign drove hundreds of thousands of Rohingya from the country, on whether Myanmar committed genocide — a finding no state has ever received. The Gambia brought the case, Myanmar denies genocide and blames an insurgency, and more than 1 million Rohingya remain in Bangladeshi camps; supporters say the ruling should compel states to block arms transfers.
