It says the intention was \u201crepurposing the land to erase all traces of the Rohingya\u2019s long presence\u201d in Myanmar. Showing how the destruction of property can be an essential part of genocide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The military leadership in Myanmar is facing multiple legal attempts to hold it accountable for the mass expulsion of Rohingya in 2017, where hundreds of thousands left their villages in Rakhine state, in the south-west of the country, and ended mainly in refugee camps in bordering Bangladesh.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/tribunals\/international-court-of-justice-icj\">International Court of Justice (ICJ)<\/a> the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/en\/42865-stop-genocide-against-the-rohingya-asks-gambia-to-the-icj.html\">Gambia has invoked the 1948 genocide convention against Myanmar<\/a> in a case supported by at least 11 other states.&nbsp;At the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/tribunals\/icc\">International Criminal Court (ICC)<\/a> the prosecution has applied for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/en\/138827-icc-prosecutor-seeks-arrest-warrant-for-myanmar-junta-chief.html\">arrest warrant<\/a> against Myanmar\u2019s president and commander-in-chief Min Aung Hlaing, outlining alleged crimes against humanity committed by the regime in forcibly deporting the Rohingya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Created in 2018 by the UN Human Rights Council, the Geneva-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/tag\/iimm-en\">Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar (IIMM)<\/a>\u2019s mandate is to collect and preserve relevant evidence and prepare analysis to facilitate criminal prosecutions. In a new report released on September 29, it includes legal analysis of how the crimes it has identified can be classified as genocide, saying that \u201cdeliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the physical destruction of a group includes the systematic expulsion from and destruction of homes\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report builds on the <a href=\"https:\/\/iimm.un.org\/en\/analytical-reports\">previous analyses<\/a> the IIMM has completed into Myanmar\u2019s 2017 actions, known as \u201cclearance operations\u201d, re-emphasising that there was a \u201ccampaign of mass atrocities against the Rohingya population of Rakhine state, marked by the burning of villages, mass killings and widespread sexual violence\u201d. It was \u201cthe culmination of decades of systemic persecution and disenfranchisement of the Rohingya population\u201d which had deep roots, says the IIMM: \u201cLong before the 2017 atrocities, the Rohingya had been stripped of citizenship, excluded from education, denied healthcare, and marginalized from political participation\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-could-my-name-be-in-there\">\u201cCould my name be in there?\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This analysis focuses on \u201cthe entities and associated individuals who ordered, oversaw, carried out and financially benefitted from the destruction and demolition of Rohingya villages\u201d. It also details&nbsp;how border guard bases were built \u201con top of the razed villages\u201d and which companies and individuals could be held responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report takes as examples seven specific villages \u201cbecause they demonstrate a systematic pattern\u201d of destruction and were turned into border guard bases. These villages \u201cprovide the strongest evidentiary record to date that the 2017 clearance operations combined land seizure, targeted destruction of livelihoods, and forced displacement to erase Rohingya presence from their ancestral homeland\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evidence goes from \u201cgeospatial imagery [that] shows scorched terrain, debris, and burned trees,\u201d to \u201csurvivors [who] reported that entire areas were bulldozed, leaving only overgrown vegetation where once the homes, schools and businesses of thriving Rohingya communities had stood,\u201d to \u201cMyanmar security forces and State-contracted companies [that] deliberately destroyed Rohingya cemeteries, mosques and other communal landmarks,\u201d&nbsp;to the \u201cabsorption of Rohingya land\u201d into bases making \u201cpermanent the displacement of Rohingya\u2026 and the erasure of their villages\u201d. \u201cBy paving over sacred and communal spaces, the authorities obliterated material proof of Rohingya history, making future claims of belonging or return more difficult. By destroying cultural and religious property, Myanmar security forces and Rakhine State authorities physically displaced Rohingya communities and disrupted their cultural continuity in northern Rakhine State,\u201d the report says. \u201cOne man from one of the villages, Ah Lel Chaung, where now No 8 BGP [Border Guard Police] Battalion base has been built, linked the confiscation of land to his displacement, saying \u2018Our lands have been taken away, and we do not have anything to do here and will not be able to survive here, so we will have to go from here\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"ArticleNewsletterCTA\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"ArticleNewsletterCTATitle\">FIND THIS ARTICLE INTERESTING?<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"ArticleNewsletterCTAText\">\r\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/newsletter\">Sign up now for our (free) newsletter<\/a> to make sure you don't miss out on other publications of this type. \t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\n\n\n<p>In the 19-page public version of the report, some details have been redacted. \u201cI always feel it's a good thing to have people who might be involved in financing crimes to wonder, should I sell these weapons? Could my name be in there? I want every perpetrator to think there's a file on him, or at least to go to bed at night worrying about it,\u201d explains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/en\/130905-uncovering-myanmars-atrocities.html\">Nicholas Koumjian<\/a>, head of IIMM, in an interview with Justice Info.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-textbook-approach-to-genocide\">A textbook approach to genocide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The material quoted is from \u201ca wide variety of sources,\u201d Koumjian&nbsp;insists. \u201cWe don't have access to Myanmar. But now there's so much evidence on social media. Even things like the chain of command can be found on the internet. It's very critical to have an open-source unit. They contributed a lot to this report,\u201d alongside witnesses who \u201cshowed us the documents that they have regarding their land rights\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the material had been collected by the NGO Commission for International Justice &amp; Accountability (CIJA) from abandoned military outposts, including 206 pages of documents. \u201cI\u2019ve worked on five separate genocide cases before and this was some of the most compelling evidence I\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d says a former senior member of CIJA on the condition of anonymity. \u201cThe case was made clear by a mixture of excellent evidence. We had good open-source material like Facebook posts exposing state policy as well as good documentation of criminality on the ground. And then these abandoned internal documents that we took custody of really completed the circle. These internal government documents clearly demonstrated a state policy to control and monitor the Rohingya population, surveil and target Rohingya communities with violence, including property-related criminality, and then conceal the treatment of the Rohingya population. In total, an almost watertight case of atrocity crimes, including genocide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Genocide scholar and associate professor at the university of Western Australia Melanie O\u2019 Brien describes it as \u201ca textbook approach\u201d. This is \u201cvery specific and quite significant evidence\u201d which she was \u201creally impressed that they were able to get\u201d, including on \u201cthe connection between the government and the local companies and the bigger companies\u201d. She adds: \u201cWhat jumps out at me from this report is that this is a pattern that directly echoes previous genocides, including the Armenian genocide, the Holocaust, the Cambodian genocide, and current genocides like in Gaza. So it's part of the play, an essential part of the genocide process, I believe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Could the report lead to new arrest warrants by the ICC or other national courts? \u201cWhat we're looking to do is to facilitate criminal prosecutions at a high standard of proof. I don't want to overstate it \u2013 that we have case files ready to go against Mr. So-and-so \u2013 but we have information to share that could be the basis of investigations,\u201d says Koumjian prudently.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"articleLink articleLink--editorRecommanded articleLink--textInImage articleLink--textTop\" style=\"\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<div
