A year after the ICC prosecutor sought an arrest warrant for Min Aung Hlaing, the Court has said nothing. Rohingya victims are now losing faith in the process.
This breakdown of the ICC's delaytoward the Rohingya case is spot on. The comparison with Palestine and Afghanistan cases really exposes the double standard - when other situations get public decisions but this one just gets silence and curated outreach programs. I've followed international justice mechanisms for a while and seen how institutions subsitute performative engagement for real action when political will evaporates. Setting up "Ambassadors of Justice" from diaspora while survivors wait in camps basically turns accountability into a PR exercise.
Thanks. My aim here was not to speculate about motives ( i had to restrain myself), but to comment on how prolonged silence is experienced by victims and what fills that space when courts do not act. That is the worrying bit.
