Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has requested an arrest warrant for Myanmar's military leader Min Aung Hlaing, accusing him of crimes against humanity related to the persecution and deportation of Rohingya Muslims. The accusations stem from violence that occurred in 2017, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of Rohingya fleeing to Bangladesh. The ICC's investigation has lasted five years, and although Myanmar is not a signatory to the court, the prosecutor argues some crimes occurred in Bangladesh, allowing jurisdiction. Human rights advocates have welcomed this significant step towards accountability.
