  • Developments
    Highlights: Accountability: • Nearly three months after the International Court of Justice's ruling on the Rohingya genocide case, the Myanmar President has asked civil servants, military officials and the general people "not to commit genocide". Camp Conditions: • At least 15 Rohingya refugees have died after a boat capsized in the Bay of Bengal. • The Border Guard Bangladesh has intensified patrolling amid speculation of a fresh influx of Rohingyas from bordering Myanmar, as 150 Rohingya have appeared at the border. BGB has said they will not allow anyone to enter Bangladesh illegally. • Bangladesh has imposed a "complete lockdown" in Cox's Bazar district, including the Rohingya camps, to halt the spread of coronavirus. High-level Statements: • The independent human rights expert who monitors Myanmar, Yanghee Lee, has condemned the crackdown on the rights to freedom of expression and access to information that is related to ongoing armed conflict and risks undermining efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic in the country. International Support: • The UK has announced around £21 million to support Bangladesh’s efforts to fight the coronavirus outbreak and help preparedness in the Rohingya refugee camps. • Britain has said it is pledging 200 million pounds ($248 million) to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and charities to help slow the spread of the coronavirus in vulnerable countries and so help prevent a second wave of infections. Developments: ActionAid wants government action for proper relief distribution New Age Bangladesh (April 12) ActionAid Bangladesh has said the government should undertake initiatives around COVID-19 relief operation with the continuation of social distancing.

  • IPAC Q&A: Backbench Business Debate on Uyghur Genocide
    Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China Q&A: Backbench Business debate on Uyghur Genocide Motion “That this House believes that Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region are suffering Crimes Against Humanity and Genocide.” And calls upon the Government to act to fulfil their obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide and all relevant instruments of international law to bring it to an end. (Nusrat Ghani MP) Details Thursday 22nd April 2021, Chamber Context The publishing of two independent legal analyses has added to mounting evidence suggesting that the gross human rights abuses being perpetrated against the Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China (XUAR) constitute Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity. What is the evidence that a Genocide is taking place against Uyghurs? Two major independent analyses have investigated reports of alleged genocide in the Xinjiang region: ● A formal legal opinion published by Essex Court Chambers in London, which concludes that there is a “very credible case” that the Chinese government is carrying out the crime of Genocide against the Uyghur people. ● A report from the Newlines Institute for Strategy and Policy, conducted by over 30 independent global experts, which finds that the Chinese state is in breach of every act prohibited in Article II of the Genocide Convention. Both reports conclude there is sufficient evidence that the prohibited acts specified within the Genocide Convention and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court have been breached with respect to the Uyghurs, namely: 1.

  • Bangladesh Genocide and Justice with Special Focus on the Rohingya Persecution
    Call for Abstract Submission 6th International Conference on Bangladesh Genocide and Justice With Special Focus on the Rohingya Persecution 14-16 November 2019, Dhaka, Bangladesh Organized by Liberation War Museum Dhaka, Bangladesh Prologue Liberation War Museum (LWM) is going to organize the 6th International Conference on Bangladesh Genocide and Justice on 14-16 November 2019. In this regard, LWM invites scholarly articles from national and international academics, researchers, jurists, rights activists, artists and persons associated with the cause of justice for international crimes. During the conference, there will be a parallel event titled as ‘poster presentation’, exclusively for young students and early career researchers to present their ideas and begin critical discussion on the issues related to genocide and justice. The conference will be held at a time when Bangladesh along with the global community is preparing to observe next year the 50th Anniversary of 1971 Bangladesh Genocide. In this background, the aim of this conference is two-fold: firstly, to provide empirical as well as theoretical insight into the existing challenges to international justice institutions in dealing with the crime of genocide and other international crimes; and secondly, to propose different avenues for strengthening transitional justice mechanism (specially, international criminal justice system and reparatory justice policy) in the post-conflict scenario. Though the conference theme is broadly related to Bangladesh Genocide, the conference will give special focus, among others, on the issue of genocide against the Rohingyas in the North Rakhine State of Myanmar - the fact of which now demands for greater international action to ensure justice and dignified return of the Rohingya victims to their homeland.

Based on fi eldwork and personal interviews conducted in Iraq in 2003 and 2004, this study presents a signifi cant amount of never-before published details about these movements. Particular attention is paid to the links between various groups, their transformation or splintering into new organizations, and the role of the non-Kurdish Iraqi Muslim Brotherhood in spawning these movements. The conclusion to this study addresses possible strategies for containing radical Islamist movements, and the dilemmas inherent in constructing such strategies.
