A momentous ruling by the World Court

Finally, what the Rohingyas have been crying out and what Bangladesh has been saying at the top of its voice has been recognised at the World Court. We hope the whole world is now listening at last.

We once again appeal to the entire world to step up its effort to assist Bangladesh in protecting the Rohingyas, and to hold Myanmar accountable for its many crimes that must not be ignored any longer.
