The Gambia today claimed that the evidence of Rohingya genocide by the Myanmar military still stands in Rakhine.
The lawyers for the African country made the claim while placing their argument against Myanmar’s denial of genocidal intent against Rohingyas at UN top court in The Hague on the final day of the hearing.
Myanmar systemically denied access of UN fact-finding mission and other international human rights agencies to hide the evidence of genocide, the Gambia’s lawyers said.
But the genocide evidence still stands there, a lawyer told the International Court of Justice.
The Gambian lawyers’ panel also said that did not reject the allegation of atrocities against Rohingyas.
While giving the arguments against Myanmar’s denial, a lawyer for the Gambia placed several documents including pictures of torturing and killing Rohingya people as the evidence of Genocide before the court.
A 17-member panel of judges of ICJ was hearing a case, the first international legal attempt to bring Myanmar to justice over alleged mass killings of the Rohingya minorities in 2017, filed by the Gambia on November 11.
