These doubts are in no small part fueled by the dismal history of compliance by states with provisional measures ordered by the ICJ. While it is well established that a provisional measures order creates binding international legal obligations for states (see Costa Rica v. Nicaragua, para.
52, 23 January Order). While the former is significant in its absence, it would always have been difficult for the court to grant and so this omission was not unexpected. Only a state can file a case against another state at the ICJ. By reminding states of their human rights and humanitarian law obligations, the court renders constructive contribution to the maintenance of international peace, security and rule of law, albeit within its limited judicial role. The threat of prolonged armed clashes and military operations is particularly ominous, feasibly facilitating the type of mass atrocities that occurred in 2016 and 2017.
The order is available here, the three separate opinions here. The burden then falls on the international community to use its political will and exercise diplomatic and coercive action against Myanmar to compel the nation to take more positive steps towards protecting the Rohingya and preventing genocide. The facts speak for themselves. Accept and Hide [x], UK Human Rights Blog - 1 Crown Office Row. THE HAGUE (Reuters) - The International Court of Justice, the United Nations’ highest court, will issue a decision on a request for emergency measures in a genocide case against Myanmar on Jan. 23, the Gambian Ministry of Justice said on Twitter on Monday. It is the first time a non-injured third party has sought to enforce obligations erga omnes partes by utilizing this mechanism under the Convention. . In Costa Rica v Nicaragua (paras 30-38), the Court confirmed that requests for revocation or modification under Article 76 would be granted where there is an urgent need due to a real and imminent risk of irreparable prejudice to the rights in dispute, based on the changes in the situation and new facts that have arisen since the Court issued its original order. Will Myanmar Comply with Provisional Measures in Gambia v. Myanmar?
Additionally, the international community seems to have forgotten the on-the-ground realities of Myanmar. Both continuous review and requesting information enable the Court to supervise compliance with its provisional measures. It is not intended to be a source of legal advice and must not be relied upon as such.
The Burmese state officials are generally reluctant to publicize any information of their dealings in Rakhine state. This has resulted in a situation where Myanmar has been able to take superficial and ineffective steps that might technically meet its obligations under the January Order. The court has also taken on a monitoring function which is rarely seen – and perhaps reflects concerns arising from the Bosnia and Herzegovina v Serbia and Montenegro case relating to the genocide convention at the ICJ – where a provisional measures order of April 1993 had to be followed by another in September 1993 – and both were of no avail, as the Srebrenica genocide attests to. In La Grand the Court stressed that it would exercise its authority under this provision, to instate provisional measures of its own volition, only in cases of extreme urgency where there is no time to hold an oral hearing (paras 21, 26). This supervisory mechanism appears to be similar to the remedial jurisprudence of “Continuing Mandamus” at the domestic level.
On the preservation of evidence, while there will continue to be concerns relating to access particularly for the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar (IIMM) and the International Criminal Court case, this order places an explicit legal obligation on Myanmar. Clearly, while this does not have to be established “definitively” at this stage of the proceedings, it is nonetheless a significant point that has been accepted. The mainly Muslim west African country filed the suit in November, alleging Myanmar was committing “an ongoing genocide” against its minority Muslim Rohingya population. In addition to the directives, criminal investigations have been launched by the Union Attorney General and the Military Court of Inquiry of Myanmar, to investigate the atrocities committed in Rakhine State in 2017. As a party to the proceedings, The Gambia would have access to the Report and will, therefore, be able to highlight Myanmar’s shortcomings in implementing the Court’s Order and propose remedies thereto in its substantive submissions at the merits phase of the case. Questions answered include: What allegations does The Gambia She has extensive legal experience at international and domestic institutions. Further, the Minister for Security and Border Affairs of the Rakhine State was reported as stating that the Central Government has not issued any separate orders to take action on the ICJ’s order, and the order on preservation of evidence is “totally unnecessary.” Members of the ruling National League for Democracy have taken a similar position, and stated that the ICJ’s ruling favors the biased report of the U.N.’s Independent International Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) on Myanmar (which found signs of genocidal intent, and provided critical evidence of grave violations of international law), while ignoring evidence presented by the Myanmar Government. While the final judgement on the merits might take years to arrive, The Gambia in order to protect the Rohingyas requested the court to indicate provisional measures. Today the International Court unanimously issued its provisional measures order in the case brought by The Gambia against Myanmar under the Genocide Convention. She said that under those circumstances, the court should not intervene. The ICJ’s decisions are binding and not subject to appeal, though the court has no means of enforcement and countries have occasionally ignored or failed to adhere fully to them. The International Court of Justice, the United Nations’ highest court, will issue a decision on a request for emergency measures in a genocide case against Myanmar on January 23, the Gambian Ministry of Justice said on Twitter on Monday.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled unanimously Thursday that Myanmar must take “provisional measures” to prevent the ongoing genocide of the remaining Rohingya in Myanmar, to preserve evidence and to make regular reports to the court.
