The International Criminal Court continued investigating the crimes committed against Rohingya people in Myanmar; for the first time, the investigation documented confessions by two former Myanmar soldiers detailing their role in the indiscriminate killing, rape and mass burial of civilians. Myanmar is also currently under investigation by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over alleged violations of the Genocide Convention. In January 2020, the ICJ issued a provisional order that the government of Myanmar should comply with its obligations under the Convention, protect Rohingya people and prevent evidence relevant to the investigation being destroyed.
