Despite the genocide, Myanmar’s lies about the Rohingya continue. At the UN General Assembly on Tuesday (September 29), the Minister of the Union of Myanmar, Cha Tint Soe, maintained this continuity and lied. He blamed Bangladesh for the repatriation of the Rohingya. I tried to divert the world’s attention with misinformation. Former Foreign Secretary Mohammad Shahidul Haque believes that the multilateral legal system is effective in stopping this lie and Bangladesh should put more emphasis on that path.
Shahidul Haque told the Bengali Tribune on Friday (October 2) that although everyone knows Myanmar’s lies, there is still a risk of misunderstanding. The former Foreign Secretary said: “Myanmar lies here and Bangladesh protests. If Bangladesh says something constructive about this, Myanmar is trying to distort it.
“Myanmar has said in its speech that it is a friend of Bangladesh and wants to keep it,” he said. But they have pushed 11 lakhs of Rohingya into Bangladesh. He has tried to persuade Bangladesh militarily by violating the border many times. Without taking any action related to repatriation, they say some Bangladeshi people are preventing the Rohingya from leaving. Which is a complete lie. ‘
The former diplomat said: “A good way to stop this is to get a verdict from the court.” That no one can deny.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) have two separate trials for genocide in Rakhine. He said that even if Myanmar lied after the verdict of those two courts, no country would take it well.
“We all know Britain or Japan as a civilized and developed country, but the genocide and destruction that they carried out 70 years ago during World War II still haunts them,” he said.
“Bangladesh has emphasized responsibility from the beginning and it is also important to stop lying to Myanmar,” he said, adding that those who committed World War II crimes have been brought to justice and many war crimes have been tried since then.
By the way, in August 2016, the Myanmar military escalated structured and pre-planned violence against the Rohingya in Rakhine. More than seven lakh Rohingya fled to Bangladesh for their lives when the killings, organized rapes and arson began in Rakhine. The Gambia filed a lawsuit with the ICJ on November 11, 2019, calling the atrocity “genocide.”
