THE entire public is fully supporting and backing the efforts of the Myanmar delegation, which is standing on the side of truth to safeguard the sovereignty and dignity of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). All those living within the country cannot accept any actions or matters that would undermine the nation’s dignity.
The case being faced is not an
ordinary legal dispute for Myanmar; it is a national matter that concerns the
dignity, sovereignty, and interests of the State. After the election, Myanmar
will move into a new chapter of its history and begin the process of building a
new state. To successfully build such a new nation, positive support from the
international community is needed.
The true nature of the case facing
Myanmar is that on 9 October 2016, the ARSA terrorist group launched its first
violent attacks on two police outposts under the Border Guard Police
headquarters. Ten police officers were killed, and weapons were seized by the
terrorists. Subsequently, at around 1:30 am on 25 August 2017, the ARSA
terrorist group committed coordinated surprise attacks on 30 police stations
and one military base, and brutally killed residents, including ethnic Rakhine
people and Hindu worshippers. As a result, the government was compelled to
carry out security operations in response, solely to protect national
sovereignty and territorial security. These actions did not constitute genocide
in any way.
No country in the world would stand by idly if terrorists were to attack its security forces and local civilians. In the case brought by The Gambia, the Myanmar delegation led by Union Minister U Ko Ko Hlaing of the Ministry 2 of the President’s Office, and Union Minister for Legal Affairs and Union Attorney General Dr Thida Oo, has travelled to The Hague in the Netherlands and is presenting the strongest possible arguments for Myanmar, upholding justice and truth.
