The Gambia files memorial at ICJ showing Myanmar responsible for genocide against Rohingyas

The Gambia today filed a memorial of more than 500-pages in its lawsuit against Myanmar at the International Court of Justice, showing how Myanmar government is responsible for genocide against the Rohingyas.

The memorial also includes more than 5000 pages of supporting materials substantiating The Gambia's case. The Gambia opened a case at the ICJ, also known as the World Court, in November last year against Myanmar for failing to prevent or punish genocide against Rohingya Muslims.

After a preliminary hearing, the Court issued an ordered asking Myanmar to take provisional measures to prevent further acts of genocide in Rakhine State, from where some 750,000 Rohingyas fled a brutal military crackdown.

After the Gambia's initial filing, the ICJ found there was substance in their claims. Based on that, it ordered Myanmar to take provisional orders and agreed to go further with the case. That's why, The Gambia has filed the memorial.

"This is a significant step towards Rohingya justice," said Dr Mizanur Rahman, law professor at Dhaka University and an expert on international law.

But the success of the case will depend on the strength of the evidence included in the memorial, he added.

Following filing by The Gambia, Myanmar has three months to file a counter-memorial at the ICJ. The Memorial and Counter-Memorial will not be made public for the duration of the trial, which is expected to last several years, said regional rights body Fortify Rights in a statement.

"It is another step towards justice for Rohingya," said Matthew Smith, chief executive officer at Fortify Rights. International accountability mechanisms, like the ICJ, are crucial, especially given that mass atrocity crimes continue against Rohingya and others in Myanmar, he added.

Myanmar should immediately comply with ICJ orders to prevent ongoing acts of genocide and preserve evidence of genocide against Rohingya Muslims, said Fortify Rights.

Gambia was backed by OIC to file the case, it's better, If a third party files the case.



Besides, these won't have any effect on Myanmar, apart from pressure.



It's just solace for the victims.





We (BAL cheerleaders) are working hand in glove with Pdf management, we paid them huge sums, enough to buy Tareq Zia's whole family and harem.

I had the privilege of meeting his highness Abubacarr Tambadou from Gambia at my uni. He came to deliver a speech during a Rohingya conference. A passionate man who is seeking justice for the Rohingya. I am sorry to say, but the Rohingya case seems to have little attention on the world stage.

OIC induced or what, Gambia is a true friend of Bangladesh with a high level of integrity and honesty at its helm. BD must not forget the contribution Gambia is making and must reciprocate in some form on some other occasions. This will prove BD is not a worthless country without a sense of integrity.
