The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague began the final hearing on Monday in Gambia’s genocide case against Myanmar. The three-week proceedings mark a critical stage in the international effort to hold Myanmar accountable for atrocities against the Rohingya. In Bangladesh’s refugee camps, displaced Rohingya expressed hope that the verdict will ensure justice and allow them to return home with dignity, citizenship, and security. Analysts noted that recent tensions along the Bangladesh–Myanmar border may be part of Myanmar’s attempt to divert global attention from the trial.
The case, filed by Gambia in 2019, accuses Myanmar of committing genocide against the Rohingya. Although Gambia sought Bangladesh’s cooperation, previous governments provided limited support. Experts and rights workers criticized Bangladesh’s earlier inaction, saying it missed the chance to strengthen the case. Current officials say Bangladesh is monitoring the hearings and that Gambia has presented substantial evidence. If the ruling favors Gambia, experts believe it could increase international pressure on Myanmar and accelerate Rohingya repatriation.
Meanwhile, border skirmishes have raised security concerns in Cox’s Bazar and Bandarban, prompting calls for stronger surveillance and border protection by Bangladesh.
