Statement of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court as delivered at the press conference in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Ladies and Gentlemen,

We welcome you to today’s press conference and thank you for your interest in the activities of the International Criminal Court (the “ICC” or the “Court”).

My name is Phakiso Mochochoko, and I am the Director of Jurisdiction, Complementary and Cooperation Division of the ICC Office of the Prosecutor. This is not the first delegation that ICC Prosecutor, Mrs Fatou Bensouda, has sent to Bangladesh to explain the Court’s judicial process to the wider public. You will recall that my colleague, Deputy Prosecutor, Mr James Stewart, was here in July last year, but this is the first such visit by her Office since the opening of a formal investigation.

ျမန္မာပူးေပါင္းေဆာင္ရြက္မႈမရွိေပမဲ့ အေရးယူႏိုင္ဖို႔ ICC ႀကိဳးပမ္းမည္

Myanmar will not be a hindrance to the International Criminal Court (ICC) “in anyway” for investigation into the Rohingya atrocities and prosecution of individuals responsible, if the legal criteria are met, the delegation from The Hague-based court’s prosecutor said.

This is despite the fact the Myanmar is not a party to the Rome Statute and is not cooperating with the ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda’s office.
