Hearings have begun in the first case of its kind at the International Court of Justice. West African country The Gambia has brought a case against Myanmar for alleged acts of genocide against the Rohingya people. When legal proceedings were launched in 2019, it was the first time an alleged genocide had been submitted to the ICJ by a country not directly affected by the genocide. The verdict of this unprecedented case could influence future cases, like the pending trial against Israel, brought by South Africa, for alleged acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Today, we’re going to explain everything you know about the ICJ case against Myanmar.

Hosts: Emily Donohoe and Billi FitzSimons
Producer: Orla Maher
