Prosecutor Karim Khan has requested an international arrest warrant for Myanmar's military leader for his role in the persecution of the Rohingya minority, citing crimes against humanity since August 2017.
The ICC's investigation has focused on alleged violent offenses committed against the Rohingya during the military's 2016-17 crackdown, resulting in over 700,000 individuals fleeing to Bangladesh under dire circumstances.
Khan emphasized the necessity of this legal action for the Rohingya people, stating it affirms their dignity and legal rights against the backdrop of systematic violence and displacement.
The case highlights the ICC's commitment to seeking justice for the Rohingya, underscoring that military chief Min Aung Hlaing, alongside other state actors, bears responsibility for heinous crimes.
