Argentina court to investigate Myanmar war crimes against Rohingya Muslims

The case, which the UN says could amount to genocide, was brought under the legal premise of universal justice

Argentina's justice system will investigate allegations of war crimes committed by the Myanmar military against that country's Rohingya minority under a court ruling upholding the principles of universal justice".

The appeals court decision, which Agence France-Presse has seen, overturns a lower court ruling rejecting a request for an investigation by the British-based Burmese Rohingya Organisation (BROUK).
