The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is set to open hearings in a genocide case filed by Gambia against Myanmar concerning alleged atrocities against the Rohingya minority. The case, which began in 2019, accuses Myanmar's military of committing genocide during a 2017 offensive that displaced over 730,000 Rohingya. Myanmar has denied the accusations, stating its actions were a counter-terrorism campaign. Hearings will include testimony from Rohingya victims, though closed to the public. This case could set precedents for defining and proving genocide.
