Myanmar Rohingya: Suu Kyi to defend genocide charge at UN court
Myanmar's leader Aung San Suu Kyi is appearing at the UN International Court of Justice (ICJ) to defend her country against accusations of genocide.
The Nobel Peace Prize laureate has heard allegations Myanmar committed atrocities against Muslim Rohingya.
Thousands of Rohingya were killed and More Than 700,000 fled to neighbouring Bangladesh during an army crackdown in the Buddhist-majority country in 2017.
Myanmar has always insisted it was tackling an extremist threat.
It marks a remarkable fall from grace for Ms Suu Kyi, who used to be seen as an icon for global Human Rights . Now she has chosen to stand up for the same army that kept her under House Arrest for years.
Entering court in The Hague , Ms Suu Kyi made No Comment when asked by the BBC if she was defending the indefensible. She will address the court on 11 December.
The case has been brought by The Gambia , a small Muslim-majority west African nation, on behalf of dozens of other Muslim countries.
At the initial three-day hearing, it is asking the ICJ in The Hague to approve temporary measures to protect the Rohingya. But a final ruling on genocide may be years away.
Mohammed Amin travelled from the UK to join a demonstration of about 50 people outside the court, shouting "justice for Rohingya".
"It's emotional But it's also very exciting that someone is taking the initiative - because we've been the voiceless people," he told the BBC.
What are the accusations?At the start of 2017, there were one million Rohingya in Myanmar (formerly Burma), most living in Rakhine state.
But Myanmar, a mainly Buddhist country, considers them illegal immigrants and denies them citizenship.
The Rohingya have long complained of persecution, and in 2017 the Military - the Tatmadaw - launched a massive Military operation in Rakhine.
the Military stands accused of "widespread and systematic clearance operations" against the Rohingya, beginning in October 2016 and expanding in August 2017.
Ms Suu Kyi is scheduled to address the court on WednesdayThe Gambia 's petition alleges that the clearances were "intended to destroy the Rohingya as a group, in whole or in part", via mass murder, rape and setting fire to their buildings "often with inhabitants locked inside".
A UN fact-finding mission which investigated the allegations found such compelling evidence that it said the Burmese army must be investigated for genocide against Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine.
In August, of "routinely and systematically employing rape, gang rape, and other violent and forced sexual acts against women, girls, boys, men and transgender people".
In May, seven from prison. Myanmar says its Military operations targeted Rohingya militants, and the Military has previously cleared itself of wrongdoing.
Who is making the accusations? The ICJ is The Top court of the UN But has no way of forcing countries to abide by its rulingsThe ICJ is the UN's top court, and. This one is being brought by The Gambia , with the support of the 57-member Organisation of Islamic Co-operation (OIC) and a team of international lawyers.
"All That The Gambia asks is that you tell Myanmar to stop these senseless killings, to stop these acts of barbarity that continue to shock our collective conscience, to stop this genocide of its own people," The Gambia 's Attorney General and Justice Minister , Abubacarr M Tambadou, told the court.
His country acted after he visited a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh and heard of killings, rape and torture, he told the BBC in October.
What is Aung San Suu Kyi's role?The case is being brought against Myanmar, not Aung San Suu Kyi.
The ICJ cannot punish individuals in the way that, for example, the (separately, the ).
But the case is, to some extent, about the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner herself.
Ms Suu Kyi has been De Facto leader of Myanmar since April 2016, before the alleged genocide began. She does not have control over the army But has been accused by the UN investigator of "complicity" in the Military clearances.
"I implore you to open your Eyes . . and please use your moral authority, before it is Too Late ,"
Ms Suu Kyi announced in November she would personally - in her role as foreign affairs Minister - alongside "prominent international lawyers".
What is the likely outcome of this case?For now, The Gambia is just asking the court to impose "provisional measures" to protect the Rohingya in Myanmar and elsewhere from further threats or violence. These will be legally binding.
To rule that Myanmar has committed genocide, the court will have to determine that The State acted "with intent to destroy in whole or in part" the Rohingya minority.
Aung San Suu Kyi remains hugely popular with many people in MyanmarEven then the ICJ has no way of enforcing the outcome - and neither Aung San Suu Kyi nor the generals would automatically be arrested and put On Trial .
But a guilty ruling could lead to sanctions, and would cause significant reputational and economic damage to Myanmar.
What is the current situation for the Rohingya?Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled Myanmar since the Military operations began.
As of 30 September, there were. Almost 80% arrived between August and December 2017, and.
In August, Bangladesh Set Up a voluntary return Scheme - But not a single Rohingya chose to go.
Bangladesh plans to relocate 100,000 refugees to Bhasan Char, a Small Island in The Bay of Bengal, But some 39
In September, the BBC's Jonathan Head reported that in Myanmar.
