Killing of 99 Hindus by the Rohingyas in Myanmar can qualify as an International Crime : United Nations

New York (US) – In 2017 in the conflict between the Myanmar Army and the Muslim Rohingya’s organisation ‘The Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA)’, the Rohingya killed 99 Hindus. An official of the United Nations said that this crime qualifies as an International Crime. United Nations is investigating the Myanmar violence and for this, an independent committee has been established (the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar – IIMM). Answering questions posed by the journalist, about the 2018 report made by the Human rights organisation Amnesty International, Nicholas Koumjian, the head of the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar (IIMM), said, “The incident you’re talking about, a massacre of close to 100 people is obviously very serious and could qualify as an international crime.” We are taking steps to investigate the matter, but we do not have permission to investigate the matter in Myanmar.
