The International Court of Justice (ICJ) will hold public hearings in a landmark case next month accusing Myanmar of committing genocide against its Rohingya community, the top United Nations court said. The proceedings are expected to set precedents that could affect South Africa's case against Israel over the war in Gaza, as this will be the first genocide case the ICJ has heard on its merits in more than a decade.

Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food. On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: No one has died because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program.

Dear brothers and sisters, you are not forgotten. You might feel that the world doesn't see your suffering. Rohingya see you.
