The Rohingya case that could redefine the law on genocide

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is expected to rule in the coming weeks on whether Myanmar committed genocide against the Rohingya minority, following investigations into sexual violence and crimes against children that began in 2017. If the court finds Myanmar responsible, it will be the first time it has ruled a state committed genocide, with many Rohingya refugees seeking citizenship and acknowledgment of past persecution as forms of justice.
