Tun Khin speaks to CIVICUS on justice and accountability for the Rohingya genocide

BROUK President Tun Khin has spoken to CIVICUS about ongoing efforts to hold the Burmese military accountable for atrocities committed against the Rohingya.

The interview discusses international justice efforts at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), International Criminal Court (ICC) and through universal jurisdiction, as well as the continuing persecution of the Rohingya. Tun Khin also stated that justice for the Rohingya must go beyond legal processes alone.

He told CIVICUS:

“Justice means more than legal cases. It means returning to our land, going back to our villages and restoring the rights that have been taken away from us by the Burmese military.”

Burma faces the ICJ as atrocities against the Rohingya continue

“After six long years, Burma will finally have to answer before the Court for the crimes of 2017,” said Tun Khin, President of the Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK (BROUK). “But the genocide against the Rohingya has far from ended. Rohingya continue to face atrocities, war crimes and crimes against humanity in Rakhine/Arakan, while more than one million people remain forcibly displaced and denied their right to return home.”
