Just having had the Rohingya experience read out at the ICJ before the Myanmar Government and the world is a big deal and should not be underestimated – Daniel Aguirre

Following the 2017 Myanmar army crackdown against the minority Rohingya population, Gambia brought a landmark case against Myanmar at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), alleging they had violated their obligations under the Genocide Convention. In February 2020, Tony Neil (LSE) sat down with Daniel Aguirre (University of Roehampton and Former Senior Legal Adviser, International Commission of Jurists, Myanmar) to discuss the historic ICJ case of genocide, the legal arguments put forward by both sides at The Hague, and the nature of the violence against the Rohingya.
