Summary 17 M.S. holds his White Card issued by the Myanmar government. ©Saiful Huq Omi, Counter Foto, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, August 2019 JUSTICE AND ACCOUNTABILITY The human rights violations documented in this report should be taken into consideration by investigators evaluating potential international crimes committed by Myanmar state security forces. In a historic decision on September 6, 2018, the International Criminal Court (ICC) granted the Office of the Prosecutor jurisdiction to investigate and possibly prosecute the crime against humanity of deportation of Rohingya to Bangladesh as well as the crimes against humanity of persecution and other inhumane acts. Furthermore, in March 2019, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) passed a resolution to bring a case, led by the Government of The Gambia, against Myanmar to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for the crime of genocide against Rohingya. Nevertheless, the Government of Myanmar consistently denies allegations of human rights violations against Rohingya and has failed to properly investigate and prosecute perpetrators of mass atrocity crimes. The government continues to refuse to cooperate with international human rights monitors, including the FFM and U.N. Special Rapporteur Yanghee Lee.
