Will Myanmar’s junta chief face justice for crimes against Rohingya?

==========

The International Criminal Court (ICC) requested an arrest warrant for Myanmar's junta chief Min Aung Hlaing on November 27, 2024, citing his likely criminal responsibility for crimes against humanity against the Rohingya; nearly 1 million Rohingya fled to Bangladesh during the military's crackdown in 2017; analysts doubt Hlaing will be arrested while in power, as Myanmar is not an ICC member; the warrant symbolizes recognition of Rohingya suffering; the ICC has jurisdiction over Bangladesh, where victims were displaced; Hlaing's travel could lead to arrest in ICC member states; the situation remains complex with the Arakan Army's actions against Rohingya; the Rohingya continue to seek safety, with recent rescues off Indonesia; calls for accountability may provoke further junta crackdowns.
