Malgré l’intervention de la Cour internationale de justice, les exactions de l’armée birmane contre la minorité musulmane se poursuivent, rapporte une ONG.

L'icône de la démocratie Aung San Suu Kyi est critiquée à l'international pour les exactions commises contre les Rohingyas en Birmanie (archives).

 

Le gouvernement birman continue de persécuter la minorité musulmane rohingya, ont affirmé lundi des avocats et des défenseurs des droits humains. En janvier pourtant, la CIJ avait ordonné à la Birmanie de cesser ses exactions.

Myanmar is continuing to commit genocide against Rohingya Muslims in breach of orders by the UN’s top court, according to human rights lawyers and activists.

The international court of justice (ICJ) in January rejected arguments made personally by Myanmar’s civilian leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, in The Hague and imposed urgent interim measures on the predominantly Buddhist nation.

The ICJ ordered Myanmar to cease the commission of genocidal acts, prevent the destruction of evidence of crimes against the Rohingya and report back to the UN every six months.
