Dear John
There is finally a chance to secure justice for the Rohingya.
For the first time ever, the Burmese military are in court for their crimes.
They are facing charges of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The ICJ, also known as the World Court, is part of the United Nations and is the highest court in the world.
But it isn’t the UK which has brought the case to the ICJ. It is The Gambia.
The ICJ is now considering whether Burma has broken the Genocide Convention over what has been done to the Rohingya.
Even before the full case has been heard, the court was so concerned by the evidence that it ordered Burma to take immediate ‘provisional measures’ to uphold the Genocide Convention, to prevent genocide and preserve evidence of crimes committed.
But the government and military are ignoring these court orders. The genocide of the Rohingya is ongoing.
We now need the British government to join The Gambia in the case at the ICJ. We need Britain to bring its legal expertise and political clout to help secure justice for the Rohingya.
British intervention could make a real difference, but instead the British government is just watching from the side-lines.
Please email British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab asking him to intervene in the Rohingya genocide case at the International Court of Justice, and support justice for the Rohingya. ([link removed])
Thank you for your support.
