Genocide charge dents halo of Myanmar's Suu Kyi

When Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi walked into the International Court of Justice last month, she gambled the remaining shreds of her hard-won international reputation on a rebuttal of accusations that her country’s military committed genocide against minority Rohingya Muslims.

The court was not persuaded. This past week, it ordered Myanmar to take all possible measures to prevent genocide against the Rohingya.

Suu Kyi’s willingness to defend human rights abuses on the global stage was a move more likely aimed at burnishing her nationalist credential at home rather than swaying the court.
