CPJ praises decision announced by IC
UNB, Dhaka :
Centre for Peace and Justice (CPJ), Brac University has commended the decision announced by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to grant four of the provisional measures requested by The Gambia.
The provisional measures are the initial step of what will be a multi-year process as the court hears The Gambia’s case against Myanmar for the crime of genocide against the Rohingya, CPJ said in a statement on Thursday.
The failures of Myanmar’s domestic
accountability mechanisms lay bare the need for international justice and accountability. Today, the court asserted its power to try the case and grant provisional measures for immediate action by Myanmar.
“CPJ feels that the provisional measures are an important and necessary step towards protecting Rohingya community in Rakhine State, whose loved ones Bangladesh is hosting in the refugee camps of Cox’s Bazar. By following the measures, Myanmar can begin stabilising the situation for not only the Rohingya but also for all the affected communities as the wheels of justice begin to slowly turn,” reads the statement.
