Abstract

The International Criminal Court (ICC) would resolve the issue of geographic equity by dealing with the RohingyaRohingya crisis. On the other hand, MyanmarMyanmar, where evidence on the human rights situation of the RohingyaRohingya would be found, is a Non-State Party to the ICC, and the prospects of a successful investigation and prosecution by theInternational Criminal Court (ICC)Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) [of the ICC] ICC’s Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) are currently low. However, the persecuted RohingyaRohingya are within the territory of BangladeshBangladesh, a State Party to the ICC, and there is a good chance that they will be able to testify.
