Initially this episode was supposed to focus on the complaint we filed in Argentina in mid Dec & UN reform & impact on documentation bodies.

What The Gambia may hope from the ICJ Gambia’s lawyers are not only asking for the International Court of Justice to declare that Myanmar is responsible for genocide, but also to provide a full range of remedies to the Rohingya community.
