Head of Myanmar’s Military Regime Faces Arrest Warrants Requested by ICC Prosecutor


The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor is requesting an arrest warrant for Myanmar’s military leader, Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, for crimes against the Rohingya Muslim minority. The allegations stem from a counterinsurgency campaign in 2017 that forced nearly a million Rohingya people to flee to Bangladesh. The prosecutor plans to request more warrants for Myanmar’s leaders to seek justice for the Rohingya. Myanmar is not a member of the ICC, but Bangladesh is, allowing for investigations into crimes committed on its territory. The court’s predecessor had requested an investigation into the situation in 2019, leading to the current request for an arrest warrant. Amidst ongoing turmoil in Myanmar, a rebel group recently seized a key trading town on the Chinese border, highlighting the instability following the military’s takeover in 2021. Additionally, the International Court of Justice is pursuing a separate case against Myanmar, with several countries supporting the accusation of genocide against the Rohingya. The ICC’s efforts serve as a reminder that the Rohingya, and all people, deserve protection under the law, aiming to hold those responsible for atrocities committed against them accountable.
