Myanmar Council of Churches Statement

23 January 2026

IN response to allegations brought by the African country, The Gambia, the Myanmar delegation is attending oral hearings before the International Court of Justice in The Hague, the Netherlands, from 12 to 29 January 2026, to contest the allegations under international law.

It is very important to uphold the dignity of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and its citizens and to ensure that decisions are made fairly under international law.

The Myanmar Council of Churches wishes and prays for the officials and legal experts of the Myanmar Agent team attending the ICJ hearing, that they may successfully serve the country by presenting solid evidence under international law.
