Myanmar rejects International Criminal Court's jurisdiction in Rohingya crisis

15 Sept 06:30 Key points summarised by AI

Myanmar's government "resolutely rejects" the International Criminal Court's (ICC) ruling that it has jurisdiction over alleged deportations of Rohingya Muslims to Bangladesh as a possible crime against humanity.
Myanmar dismisses the ICC ruling as "the result of faulty procedure and is of dubious legal merit," reiterating its stance that, not being a party to the Rome Statute, it is under no obligation to respect the court's decisions.
The ICC's decision allows its prosecutor to further examine evidence for potential charges against Myanmar officials, following a UN fact-finding mission's conclusion that Myanmar's military acted with "genocidal intent" against the Rohingya.
