The UN’s top court ruled on Thursday that the Rohingya face a “real and ongoing” threat of genocide in Myanmar, and emergency provisional measures should be implemented to protect the Rohingya inside the country.

The provisional measures should be implemented to protect the Muslim Rohingya minority in Myanmar during the next stage of the hearing, said the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

The court also ruled that it has jurisdiction over the genocide case and the next stage of the hearing can go ahead.

The Gambia brought the case to the ICJ on behalf of an organization of Muslim nations, accusing Myanmar of genocide during its 2017 crackdown on the Rohingya, which saw 700,000 flee over the border to Bangladesh and thousands of Rohingya were killed and raped as well as burning Rohingya villages. …

The UN’s charter is based on the old USSR constitution, so credibility does not exist there.

Also, Gambia acting “on behalf of an organization of Muslim nations” pushes the credibility factor into the negative integers.

Myanmar is almost 88% Buddhist, perhaps the most pacifist large religion on the planet. Yet the Muslims have pissed them off enough that you have this. Hmmmm.

Burma is run by Buddhist extremist (yes they exist) who go after any people of other faiths, even different brands of Buddhism.

And the mohammedans are... well... mohammedans.

A plague on both their houses.
