ICC authorizes investigation into crimes against Rohingya

← Back to Dashboard
📅 14 November 2019 📍 Bangladesh; Myanmar

The ICC’s Pre-Trial Chamber authorized an investigation into alleged crimes within its jurisdiction in the Bangladesh/Myanmar situation. The decision opened a route toward individual criminal accountability for crimes involving Rohingya, including cross-border deportation. It differed from the ICJ’s interstate proceedings. Authorization to investigate was not a conviction, and the Court’s territorial jurisdiction did not automatically encompass every act committed wholly in Myanmar.
