With #Myanmar’s deadline to submits its compliance report to the @ICJ_CIJ fast approaching https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⌛️" title="Hourglass" aria-label="Emoji: Hourglass">, there’s been an uptick https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☑️" title="Ballot box with check" aria-label="Emoji: Ballot box with check">of activity – and scrutiny – to discuss its (non) efforts to protect the #Rohingya from genocide. Here’s a short round-up https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread">/1

Last week, the #UNSecurityCouncil held a closed-doorhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚪" title="Door" aria-label="Emoji: Door">meeting with the UN& #39;s Myanmar Envoy @SchranerBurgen1 to discuss the impact of Covid-19 and fighting in Rakhine State. Justice, wasn& #39;t on the table but some countries mentioned it anyway. https://bit.ly/3e6T3aP ">https://bit.ly/3e6T3aP&q... /2

Predictably, the #UNSC remains divided so there wasn’t an outcome, but it’s better than ignoring the serious humanitarian issues and the surge in fighting in Rakhine, which would give #Myanmar (and spoilers in the council, like https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇨🇳" title="Flag of China" aria-label="Emoji: Flag of China">) a free pass. https://bit.ly/2Zqvp5a ">https://bit.ly/2Zqvp5a&q... /3

Obviously we can’t settle, either. We’re pushing the #UNSC in NY and in capitals to do more over the coming months, ideally a formal public briefing to raise the heat https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌡️" title="Thermometer" aria-label="Emoji: Thermometer">on #Myanmar. /4

Yesterday we co-hosted a fantastic panel featuring the fierce https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire"> @YangheeLeeSKKU, @lvandenassum and @waiwainu to share their insights about whether Myanmar is doing enough to protect the Rohingya. (No surprise = no). /5

I’d really encourage you to watch the whole webinar – so much https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✴️" title="Eight pointed star" aria-label="Emoji: Eight pointed star">great https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✴️" title="Eight pointed star" aria-label="Emoji: Eight pointed star">analysis & food for thought. You can find it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2-EIvWiUuk">https://www.youtube.com/watch... #Justice4Rohingya /6

And for anyone wanting to learn more about the Rohingya& #39;s plight, the @CPG_USHMM has put together a powerful https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💪" title="Flexed biceps" aria-label="Emoji: Flexed biceps">exhibit explaining how the Rohingya “became targets of a sustained campaign of genocide”. https://exhibitions.ushmm.org/burmas-path-to-genocide">https://exhibitions.ushmm.org/burmas-pa... /7

@Nadia_Hardman & I are working on a piece showing that instead of complying with the @CIJ_ICJ& #39;s order, #Myanmar has used Covid-19 as a shield https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🛡️" title="Shield" aria-label="Emoji: Shield"> to double down on restrictions on the Rohingya living in overcrowded Central Rakhine camps. /END
