Portrayal of the Rohingya as an existential threat to Myanmar. Portrayal of the Rohingya as a threat to racial purity of the recognized Myanmar ethnic people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, he said in hearings broadcast online, was the \u201cportrayal of Islam as a threat to Buddhist sanctity,\u201d which justified the denigration and suffering of the Rohingya, which was followed by the portrayal of these crimes as fabrications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese are in large part the same themes, dehumanization, accusations in a mirror, and threats to racial purity that Myanmar and the Tatmadaw have been propagating for many years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After years of legal wrangling, efforts to prosecute <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2023\/11\/church-helps-people-fleeing-violence-in-myanmar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">military<\/a> chief Gen. Aung Ming Hlaing and senior brass for the alleged genocide moved from the preliminary stage to the merits phase, where the first witnesses and expert public testimonies from both sides are heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Genocide on trial at the International Court of Justice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the merit phase, the ICJ moves beyond procedural questions where it decides who is right or wrong under international law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judges must decide if Myanmar had breached its obligations under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide after a case was lodged in the ICJ by Gambia in November 2019, with support and written submissions from 11 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBy all measures, this case is not about esoteric issues of international law,\u201d Gambia\u2019s Attorney General and Justice Minister Dawda Jallow told the court. \u201cIt is about real people, real stories, and a real group of human beings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said his country brought the case \u201cafter reviewing credible reports of the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/02\/catholic-priest-martyred-in-myanmar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brutal and vicious<\/a> violations imaginable\u201d committed against the Rohingya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About 1.5 million Rohingya fled abroad, with more than 1.1 million of them crossing Myanmar\u2019s land border into Bangladesh after a crackdown was launched in two phases by the military, which it said was in response to attacks on police outposts by local militias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first phase lasted from Oct. 9, 2016, to Jan. 17, 2017. The second began on Aug. 25, 2017, and continues to the present day. At least 24,000 people died, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2022\/05\/myanmar-catholic-village-set-on-fire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">villages<\/a> were plundered and destroyed, and tens of thousands of women were raped in Western Rakhine state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hearings determine the state responsibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Those crimes were allegedly committed when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/09\/supporters-of-ailing-myanmar-leader-call-for-her-release\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi<\/a> was in power; however, she was ousted in a coup d\u2019etat in early 2021, tipping the country into a bloody civil war, and she remains in prison. Aung Hlaing is currently holding elections widely discredited as a sham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suu Kyi has previously dismissed Gambia\u2019s arguments as a \u201cmisleading and incomplete factual picture\u201d of what she said were the unfortunate results of an \u201cinternal armed conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A fact-finding mission mandated by the UN Human Rights Council in 2018 found there were reasonable grounds to conclude that serious crimes, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2022\/01\/icj-to-hear-genocide-case-against-myanmar-regime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">genocide<\/a>, crimes against humanity, and war crimes, were committed. Some countries have argued it was ethnic cleansing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ICJ President, Iwasawa Yuji, has scheduled two rounds of pleadings, each from Gambia and Myanmar, to be held alongside closed sessions when testimony from witnesses will be heard. ICJ hearings are expected to conclude on Jan. 29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ICJ settles legal disputes between states, provides opinions on international law, and the court\u2019s findings are legally binding. Unlike criminal courts, it does not try individuals but determines state responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Featured image: Rohingya refugees are reflected in rain water along an embankment next to paddy fields after fleeing from Myanmar into Palang Khali, near Cox\u2019s Bazar, Bangladesh Nov. 2, 2017.
