This Just in: The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ruled to implement measures to prevent the genocide of Rohingya Muslims in Burma and called for emergency measures to be taken against the Burmese military.
What has happened: Since 2017, the Rohingya Muslims, who can trace their origins in Burma back to the fifteenth century, have faced ethnic cleansing by the military and civilian government. At Least 700,000 Rohingya Muslims have been murdered and the government continues to deny their status as one of the country’s ethnic groups.
What have we done: With the help of coalition partners, our advocacy efforts led to the 'Burma Human Rights and Freedom Act' being passed through the House. This Act would:
- Authorize humanitarian assistance and reconciliation to include support for voluntary resettlement.
- Address the right of return and freedom of movement for the Rohingya.
- Reinstate sanction on certain imports from Burma and visa bans to military officials responsible for human rights violations
What's Next: Our goal now is to pass the bill through the Senate and sign it into law, ensuring that America stands on the right side of history.
This work can happen only with the contributions from advocates like YOU.
