Myanmar leader dismisses allegations of Rohingya murder in The Hague: "Internal conflict"

Myanmar leader Ong San Suu Kyi on Wednesday dismissed allegations against her country of genocide against the Muslim Rohingya minority as "unfounded and misleading". She said there is no reason to discuss the case in the United Nations High Court.

Sue Chin, the Nobel Peace Prize bride, represents her country during the three days of the International Court of Justice hearing in The Hague. She rejects accusations made in the Gambia petition last month in which the small West African Muslim state accused Southeast Asian Buddhist state of violating the 1948 Genocide Convention.

The Western Democrat, who has long been a Democrat, defended the military operations for about 30 minutes yesterday, which for years kept her under house arrest. She said the "purge" of the military in Rakhine province, which began in August 2017, was a counter-terrorism response following an armed Rohingya attack on dozens of police stations.
