THE HAGUE: Representing her government, the Myanmar’s Noble prize winning leader, Aung San Suu Kyi came to the defense of Myanmar government in the alleged ‘genocide’ case against the Rohingya minorities.

Suu Kyi began her address citing the mass expulsions of people during the Balkan wars of 1990s and asked whether they were taken as genocide.

Reiterating that the Myanmar issue could not be the subject of alleged discussion, she said, “International justice resisted the temptation to use this legal classification because the specific intent to destroy the targeted group in whole or in part was not present.”

She added that the Gambia’s portrayal of the Rohingya issue was not reliable as it “painted an incomplete and misleading picture of the factual situation in Rakhine, the home state of Rohingya.”
