I met women who had been raped by soldiers, children who had seen their parents shot dead before their very eyes, and families who had lost everything. But if there was one thing that united almost all survivors, it was the desire for justice.\r\n\r\nAs a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/indepth\/features\/2017\/08\/rohingya-muslims-170831065142812.html\">Rohingya<\/a> myself, I can relate to this all too well. I felt compelled to flee Rakhine state in the late 1990s because of the dehumanising restrictions I faced. I was not allowed to go to university simply because I was a Rohingya, for example. I have since been able to settle in London, and I am very aware that I am one of the &#8220;lucky&#8221; ones.\r\n\r\nMany of my friends and relatives have suffered horrific violence in recent years. Some saw their homes burned down by mob attacks on Rohingya people in 2012, and have lived in squalid conditions in displacement camps in Myanmar ever since. Others have become victims of more recent military campaigns in 2016 and 2017: they have been killed, raped and driven from their homes. I have watched this systemic attempt by Myanmar to destroy our community for two decades now.\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">The current escalation of the crisis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/indepth\/features\/2017\/08\/50000-rohingya-flee-violence-myanmar-170831084328159.html\">dates back to August 2017<\/a>, when attacks by the armed group Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army triggered a vicious and disproportionate response by the Myanmar military. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">Almost 700,000 people were forced to flee across the border into Bangladesh as security forces and their proxies went on a rampage across Rakhine State. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.msf.org\/en\/article\/myanmarbangladesh-msf-surveys-estimate-least-6700-rohingya-were-killed-during-attacks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thousands were killed<\/a><span lang=\"EN-GB\">while hundreds of villages were torched and burned to the ground. The UN human rights chief, Zeid Ra&#8217;ad al-Hussein, has said he suspects that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2018\/03\/myanmar-investigated-crimes-rohingya-180309105233347.html\">&#8220;acts of genocide&#8221;<\/a><span lang=\"EN-GB\"> were committed against the Rohingya.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">This latest bout of violence is by far not the first. In the late 1970s and the early 1990s, similar devastating campaigns by the Myanmar military drove hundreds of thousands of Rohingya out of Rakhine State. For the Rohingya people, history keeps repeating itself in the worst possible way.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">Yet time and again, we have seen how perpetrators of human rights abuses have escaped without punishment, free to commit the same crimes over and over. There is no question that we need international support more than ever to ensure that justice is delivered to the Rohingya.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">Accountability is crucial to breaking this vicious cycle of abuse. If those responsible for human rights violations against the Rohingya are brought to justice, it would send a powerful signal that these atrocities will not be tolerated.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">Myanmar, however, has proven itself both unwilling and unable to investigate crimes against the Rohingya. Domestic inquiries have been little more than window dressing for the international community. Myanmar&#8217;s authorities have, by and large, even flat out denied that atrocities are taking place.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">The military, headed by Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, has little incentive to investigate their own crimes. The civilian government, led by the former democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, cannot be relied upon either. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">The Myanmar leader and former dissident has dismissed reports of human rights violations and has said that what is going on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2017\/04\/aung-san-suu-kyi-denies-ethnic-cleansing-rohingya-170406081723698.html\">is not ethnic cleansing<\/a>.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">She has failed in both her moral and political responsibility to do what she can to end the violence. There are still sections of the international community that cling on to the hope that Aung San Suu Kyi will come good, but at this stage it is abundantly clear that such hopes are misplaced.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">If anything, Myanmar has taken active steps to block international scrutiny. The authorities have denied access to the United Nations Fact-Finding Mission, created by the Human Rights Council (HRC) to &#8220;establish the facts and circumstances&#8221; of alleged security force violations.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">The only hope for justice lies with the international community. In late April, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2018\/04\/rohingya-demand-justice-delegation-unsc-visits-bangladesh-camps-180429090351738.html\">a delegation from the UN Security Council<\/a><span lang=\"EN-GB\"> spoke to traumatised Rohingya in Bangladeshi refugee camps and visited torched villages inside Myanmar. The UNSC must now act on this visit and refer Myanmar to the International Criminal Court (ICC).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">Myanmar is not a party to the ICC and has not accepted the court&#8217;s jurisdiction. This means that only the Security Council can refer the situation to the Court.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">Earlier in April, ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda asked the court to rule on whether the ICC &#8220;can exercise jurisdiction over the alleged deportation of the Rohingya people from Myanmar to Bangladesh,&#8221; which is under the jurisdiction of the ICC. While this was a welcome move, an ICC ruling on the crime of deportation would not include other crimes against humanity, including murder, rape, torture, persecution or genocide.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">Mere statements from the UNSC urging Myanmar to investigate abuses will accomplish nothing, no matter how <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-myanmar-rohingya-un\/u-n-security-council-pushes-myanmar-on-accountability-over-rohingya-idUSKBN1IA3K5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">strongly worded<\/a><span lang=\"EN-GB\"> they are. It is abundantly clear that any investigation must be genuinely independent and internationally led. The ICC is the institution by far best placed to do this.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">This complete lack of accountability is not just affecting the Rohingya, but also people in other ethnic areas where security forces and armed groups <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/news\/2017\/06\/myanmar-ethnic-minorities-face-violations-in-northern-conflict\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">commit war crimes with impunity<\/a><span lang=\"EN-GB\">. In Kachin State, for example, thousands of people were <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2018\/04\/myanmar-violence-thousands-flee-renewed-fighting-kachin-state-180429065131313.html\">forced to flee<\/a><span lang=\"EN-GB\"> their homes a few weeks ago when violence flared between the military and insurgents.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">The refugees I met in Bangladesh live in squalid shelters with inadequate access to food, water and sanitation. The upcoming monsoon season is threatening to make their lives even worse. Many of them are deeply traumatised from what they witnessed in Myanmar.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">I was deeply moved that despite all they have been through, so many people still wanted to see justice done more than anything else. The Security Council has an opportunity now to make this reality, it is one that cannot be missed.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tun Khin | Published by Al Jazeera on May 20, 2018 The UN Security Council must refer the Rohingya&#8217;s case to the International Criminal Court.
