THE NEW HUMANITARIAN
About this episode

Myanmar's persecuted Rohingya community are waiting for justice. A landmark genocide case at the International Court of Justice is a major step.

She explains why today's Rohingya trial paved the way for other atrocity crime cases, and discusses humanitarians' complex role delivering aid in Myanmar.

 

Guests: 

 

Noor Azizah, co-executive director of the Rohingya Maìyafuìnor Collaborative Network
