‘Rohingya crisis over genocide case looming’

YANGON: Nobel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi urged United Nations (UN) judges to throw out a genocide case against Myanmar, warning it risked reigniting the crisis that forced nearly three quarters of a million Rohingya Muslims from their homes.

In her closing arguments after a three-day hearing at the International Court of Justice, Myanmar’s de facto civilian leader issued a stark warning to judges that allowing The Gambia’s case against Myanmar to go ahead could “undermine reconciliation”.
