Gambia accuses Myanmar of Rohingya genocide at ICJ, citing 2017 atrocities that forced 700,000 to flee.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has begun hearing a landmark case filed by Gambia accusing Myanmar of genocide against the Rohingya Muslim minority during a 2017 military crackdown.
The hearings, the first full genocide trial at the ICJ in over a decade, center on allegations of mass killings, sexual violence, arson, and forced displacement, which forced over 700,000 Rohingya to flee into Bangladesh.
The ICJ will hear testimony from victims and experts, and the proceedings are expected to last three weeks.
While Myanmar denies the charges, claiming that its actions were a legitimate response to insurgent attacks, the UN and the US.
Assessments revealed evidence of genocidal intent.
The case could establish legal precedents and influence future international actions, such as South Africa's genocide claim against Israel.
