Overview
- Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Britain, and the Maldives have joined the genocide case against Myanmar over its treatment of the Rohingya minority.
- The case was originally brought by Gambia in 2019, accusing Myanmar of committing genocide against its Rohingya minority.
- A U.N. fact-finding mission concluded that a 2017 military campaign by Myanmar that drove 730,000 Rohingya into neighbouring Bangladesh had included 'genocidal acts'.
- Myanmar has denied the allegations, rejecting the U.N. findings as 'biased and flawed'.
- The International Court of Justice has already ruled it has jurisdiction, though hearings in the case have not been scheduled.
