Statement of the Myanmar Muslim National Affairs Organization concerning The Gambia’s lawsuit against Myanmar at the International Court of Justice

1.The Gambia’s lawsuit at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) alleges that Myanmar either directly or indirectly has failed its obligations under the “Genocide Convention of 1948”.

2. Myanmar as a responsible party of the ICJ pursuant to the United Nations Charter is responding to the lawsuit.

3. The Myanmar Muslim National Affairs Organization (Ma-AhPha) wholeheartedly supports Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the Union Minister of Foreign Affairs who will personally represent the country to defend Myanmar’s national interests and interests of its people and to effectively respond to the lawsuit, with the cooperation of the Tatmadaw.

4. We hope for fair and just proceedings and fulfillment of Myanmar’s objectives.
