Argentine court has issued arrest warrants for the head of Myanmar’s military junta and other former officials including Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi over alleged “genocide and crimes against humanity” that targeted the Rohingya minority group. The court ruling, seen by AFP on Feb 14, was issued in response to a complaint filed in Argentina by a Rohingya advocacy group. It filed there under principle of “universal jurisdiction” by which countries can prosecute crimes regardless of where they occurred if, like genocide or war crimes, they are considered sufficiently serious.
