The ICC Has Jurisdiction over One Form of Genocide in the Rohingya Situation
Now that the International Criminal Court has granted jurisdiction over Myanmar army’s crimes against humanity toward Rohingya Muslims, a coalition of ICC members should formally refer the case rather than leave it to the prosecutor to act on her own. https://t.co/pNzE3lB9S0 pic.twitter.com/sqTeoqTD5j

We also need to temper expectations. This is a momentous development, but won’t (alone) deter atrocities against the #Rohingya. It won’t resolve the #RohingyaCrisis. It won’t lead to their recognition by Bangladesh or Myanmar. But it MAY just deliver a sliver of justice. #ICC https://t.co/vfeptXAQZ8

@kevinjonheller Hi Kevin, v happy to correct this, but was following PR of the ICC here https://t.co/4N2stCJ0q2 says the court ruled it has jurisdiction „with regard to any other crime set out in article 5 of the Statute“

The Chamber accepted the arguments put forward by GRC, acting on behalf of 400 Rohingya women and children (Shanti Mohila), on the possibility of the Court’s jurisdiction extending to other crimes committed against the #Rohingya, such as persecution. pic.twitter.com/7H1nuwNKaq

Recopilar evidencia en redes sociales (#FB #YouTube #Twitter) para comprobar la comisión de crímenes internacionales, se ha convertido en recurso común para los mecanismos de investigación internacionales. #Myanmar es el caso + reciente: https://t.co/sVgTp0IY1G vía @opiniojuris pic.twitter.com/AFvxyMbq1E

Unpopular view: while legally justifiable, the finding of jurisdiction over Rohingya deportation is a policy mistake for the International Criminal Court and possibly a bad outcome for the situation in Myanmar (1/7)https://t.co/lbUJV0wohO

Myanmar’s see-no-evil, hear-no-evil policy continues alongside their genocidal campaign against the Rohingya and other vulnerable ethnic minorities https://t.co/27XoYLs3t2 #ShantiMohila Visit our website to learn more about GRC’s submissions to the ICC on behalf of the #Rohingya
