Myanmar's Rohingya Genocide ICC referral: Need Of The Hour

As hopes for an early, voluntary, safe and dignified repatriation of the Rohingya refugees to a protected homeland in Arakan fade, as Myanmar authorities persist in a “systematic,” lower-intensity persecution and violence in northern Arakan, and as new batches of expelled Rohingyas continue to cross the border into Bangladesh, the demand for bringing the perpetrators of the heinous crime to justice, including State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and her military cohorts, gains traction.

Afghanistan: Post-Trump Dilemmas For Peace And Security

[ABSTRACT: The perception that Post-Trump Administration in Washington may be inexorably sliding into a state of dysfunctionality, might have prompted the Afghan President Ashraf Ghani to hold out an olive branch to his Taliban opponents and make a peace-offer to them. How the Taliban will react is uncertain. They are disunited, but at the same time, gaining ground in battle. The peace-process will require greater calibration than what exists at this time between Kabul and Islamabad. So, as of now peace is not in sight and fighting is likely to continue. However, with the US interests and even capability on the wane, greater responsibility to end the conflict devolves on the regional leadership, if they are to avoid wider conflagrations, which will be to the benefit of none]
