Rohingya Crisis

War crimes judges to hold closed talks

AFP, The Hague
War crimes judges will hold closed-door talks next month to discuss whether to allow the launch of a probe into the forced exodus of Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar.
Only chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda will appear before the three judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) hearing on June 20, presiding judge Peter Kovacs said in his Friday order, seen by AFP yesterday.
Some 700,000 Rohingyas have fled Myanmar's northern Rakhine State into neighbouring Bangladesh since August to escape a bloody military crackdown.
In an unprecedented move last month, Bensouda asked judges at the world's only permanent war crimes court to rule whether she can investigate the deportations as a crime against humanity.
It is a legally complicated request, as Myanmar is not a signatory and member of the Rome Statute which underpins the ICC.
Bangladesh is, however, and Bensouda argued that should give her office jurisdiction to investigate the Rohingya's plight.
She likened deportation to "a crossbordershooting", arguing the crime "is not completed until the bullet (fired in one state] strikes and kills the victim [ standing in another state] ”.
"The chamber convenes a status conference on 20 June 2018, to be held in closed session, only in the presence of the prosecutor," Kovacs ordered.
He accompanied the order with a confidential annex which he said contained issues which Bensouda must address at the June hearing.
Set up in 2002 in The Hague, the ICC acts to prosecute the worst abuses including genocide in places where national tribunals are unwilling or unable to act.
The Myanmar army in the mainly Buddhist nation has denied any allegations, saying its campaign has been a legitimate response to Rohingya militant attacks last year that killed about a dozen border guard police.
The Southeast Asian nation has voiced "serious concern" over the move at the ICC.
"Nowhere in the ICC Charter does it say that the court has jurisdiction over states which have not accepted that jurisdiction," Myanmar said in a statement.
The special court examining Bensouda's request has also asked Bangladesh to submit any written observations it may have on the case by June 11.
