The NUG’s handling of Aung San Suu Kyi’s reputation has become a critical fault line within its coalition, wedging former NLD members, ethnic organisations, and liberal-democratic groups within the political wing of the anti-junta resistance.
On 13 February a federal court in Argentina issued arrest warrants for Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, head of Myanmar’s State Administration Council (SAC), and Aung San Suu Kyi, the former State Counsellor of the National League for Democracy (NLD)-led administration and the National Unity Government (NUG) and Nobel peace laureate. The warrants, issued under universal jurisdiction, accuse them of genocide and crimes against humanity committed against the Rohingya ethnic minority. (Universal jurisdiction allows states or international bodies to prosecute individuals for serious crimes like genocide and war crimes, regardless of where they occurred or even without a direct link through nationality.)
