Myanmar's National Unity Government (NUG) has said they are fully cooperating with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to “make sure that justice is delivered to Rohingya brothers and sisters” and to all from every ethnicity who have suffered so much for so long under the brutal military generals’ reign of terror in Myanmar.
“Together, we’ll end this reign of terror once and for all. Justice will prevail,” said Dr Sasa, Union Minister of International Cooperation and Spokesperson of Myanmar's shadow government in a post shared on his verified Facebook page.
Dr Sasa also shared an official statement that reads, "The National Unity Government is taking every step to cooperate with the International Court of Justice, the world's highest court…to ensure that we comply with Myanmar's international legal obligations.”
The NUG said they are concerned about the difficult situation of the Rohingyas, especially those who fled to Bangladesh in 2016-17.
Bangladesh is now hosting over 1.1 million Rohingyas both in Cox’s Bazar district and Bhasan Char.
Earlier, The Gambia, on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), filed a genocide case with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at the Hague.
The NUG statement says it is among its duties, as lawful government of Myanmar, to ensure the continuity of representation before the ICJ, and to be mindful of the timetable established by the Court.
It said the NUG is also actively considering accepting the exercise of jurisdiction by the ICJ over the killings, torture and other crimes against the civilians that have occurred since the "attempted" coup on February 1.
The NUG reaffirmed that it will continue to work closely with the Court and all relevant stakeholders for benefits of the country and all people in Myanmar, the statement adds.
