Rohingya 'targeted for destruction' by Myanmar, ICJ hears

More than one million Rohingya Muslims have been forced from their homes in Myanmar, as the International Court of Justice hears a case accusing Myanmar's military of deliberately targeting the minority group for destruction. The Gambia, which brought the case, alleges that Myanmar breached the 1948 Genocide Convention during a violent crackdown in 2017, leading to mass displacement, killings, and other atrocities. Survivors now live in overcrowded camps in Bangladesh, hoping the court will acknowledge their suffering and deliver justice. While a final decision may take years and enforcement remains uncertain, a ruling against Myanmar could increase international pressure and highlight the plight of the Rohingya.
