The Hague – [On January 23], in an unanimous 17-0 ruling, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) announced provisional measures ordering Burma (Myanmar) to take immediate action to prevent genocidal acts against the Rohingya community. This important ruling requires the Burmese government to prevent and stop genocidal acts by military and police forces, preserve all evidence of genocidal acts, and report on compliance with these provisional measures.

The 90 Day mark of the Siege of Jammu and Kashmir by the occupying Indian army is fast approaching and the deafening silence of world leaders over the human rights violations against the civilians is utterly disappointing.
