Title	Persecution of the rohingya muslim : is genocide occurring in Myanmar's rakhine state? / Alina Lindblom, Elizabeth Marsh, Tasnim Motala, and Katherine Munyan
Imprint	Bangkok : Fortify Rights, 2015.
Physical	65 p. : ill. ; 30 cm.
Note	This legal analysis considers whether the ongoing attacks on and persecution of the Rohingya Muslim population in Myanmar constitute genocide, as defined by the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (the Genocide Convention). The paper begins with a detailed, historical account of the human rights situation of Rohingya since Myanmars independence. It then uses the Genocide Conventions definition of genocide to analyze the treatment of Rohingya. This analysis does not conclude definitively whether genocide is occurring. Such a conclusion would require a full and independent investigation by an appropriately authorized institution with investigatory powers and provisions for the accused to respond to allegations. However, assuming that the information to which the Lowenstein Clinic has had access is credible and comprehensive and accurately reflects the Rohingyas situation, the paper finds strong evidence that genocide is being committed against Rohingya.
