The United Nations' top court announced Wednesday that it will issue a decision next week on a request to order
Myanmar to halt what has been cast as a genocidal campaign against the southeast Asian country's Rohingya Muslim minority.
At hearings in December, lawyers representing Gambia showed judges maps, satellite imagery and graphic photos to highlight what they called a deliberate campaign of ethnic cleansing and genocide — including the killing of civilians, raping of women and torching of houses — that forced more than 700,000 Rohingya to flee to neighboring Bangladesh.
