I was born in the 1980s, only a few years after Myanmar’s military regime stripped the Rohingya of citizenship. Today, as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) weighs Myanmar’s responsibility for genocide, international law has become my last remaining hope for justice. Human rights groups have documented forced recruitment, village burnings, and killings by both sides. The question before the world is simple: Will international law protect a people facing erasure -- or merely record their disappearance? Since 2012, he has been documenting human rights violations carried out by the Myanmar authorities against the Rohingya in Myanmar.
