Australia should cut ties with Myanmar’s military over Rohingya atrocities. There has to be a strong unequivocal message that ethnic cleansing is not acceptable. https://t.co/x8WxPizw6h

There’s little the government can do to influence the outcome of the ICC process – it’s unlikely to come up with any novel legal argument against jurisdiction, or compelling factual account to sway the judges. Now up to those judges to decide the legal merits of jurisdiction. https://t.co/kf0E4hgO2B

Of the 11 crimes against humanity recognized by the #ICC, evidence shows that nine have been perpetrated against #Myanmar’s #Rohingya people – and responsibility extends to the upper echelons of the country’s military.

The mechanism for doing so isn’t yet clear: China can use its veto power to protect Myanmar at the United Nations Security Council, while the International Criminal Court has no jurisdiction over Myanmar.
Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland has said she supports creating an “international impartial and independent mechanism,” similar to that in place for investigating and prosecuting crimes in Syria.
Neither Canada nor the EU has sanctioned Senior-General Min Aung Hlaing or Vice-Senior-General Soe Win.
Senior #Myanmar military officials shld face trial for atrocity crimes against #Rohingya. https://t.co/wZO1mvRNUr #EU states shld table Res in #UNSC referring situation to #ICC. And if vetoed, lead in #UNGA & #HRC to establish a #IIIM preparing cases for criminal prosecution.
