(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, 20 MAR - The Biden administration intends to declare that the repression of the Muslim minority of the Rohingya by the military junta in Burma was a "genocide".

US officials told the Washington Post.


    Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected to announce this today at an event at the American Holocaust Memorial.

The definition of "genocide" by itself will not involve any additional measures against Burma by Washington, which has already inflicted heavy sanctions on the country.


   But it could put pressure on the government, which is already facing the accusation of genocide by the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
