Tun Khin Featured in USCIRF Podcast Series on Justice and Accountability for Burma
BROUK President Tun Khin was featured in a two-part podcast series by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), examining international efforts to hold the Burmese military accountable for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes committed against the Rohingya and other ethnic and religious communities in Burma.
In the first episode, outgoing UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Burma Tom Andrews and Arsalan Suleman, who was part of The Gambia’s legal team in the genocide case against Burma at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), spoke about ongoing international accountability efforts and pathways to justice for victims of atrocities committed by the Burmese military.
The second episode focused on the use of universal jurisdiction to pursue accountability for crimes committed by the Burmese military. Tun Khin joined Salai Za Uk Ling of the Chin Human Rights Organization to discuss the importance of international justice efforts and the role survivors and civil society organisations play in seeking accountability.
