Ko Ko Hlaing Defends Myanmar Against Genocide Claims at World Court

#Centrum, #Netherlands
Ko Ko Hlaing rejected genocide allegations at the International Court of Justice by describing the 2017 military crackdown as a necessary counter-terrorism operation.The defense followed testimony from The Gambia detailing systematic massacres and sexual violence that forced over 700,000 Rohingya people to flee to Bangladesh.Judges are expected to deliver a final ruling in late 2026 after hearing from witnesses and survivors in closed-door sessions regarding the alleged atrocities.
