THE HAGUE — Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi was due to leave the Netherlands on Friday after defending her country against accusations of genocide during three days of hearings at the International Court of Justice. WHERE DO THE PROCEEDINGS STAND NOW? The west African country of Gambia filed a case in November, alleging Myanmar was committing "an ongoing genocide" against its minority Muslim Rohingya population. As a first step, Gambia asked the court to order emergency measures to protect the Rohingya and keep the conflict from getting worse. These are meant as a kind of restraining order while the 17-judge panel looks at the full case on its merits, which usually takes several years to complete.
