Our live Q&A session between camp based #Rohingya and the accountability mechanisms has begun.

Victims from within the camp begin by expressing their wish to learn more about the investigations and cases being conducted in their names.

#RohingyaWantJustice

Arselan Suleman, counsel for The Gambia before the @CIJ_ICJ answers questions on the progress before the case against #Myanmar before the International Court of Justice.

Explains that #Myanmar must provide its written submissions by April 2023.

Chantal Daniels, International Cooperation Advisor at the @IntlCrimCourt notes that justice for those who were displaced five years ago will never be fast enough. But reminds that #ICC team and prosecutor @KarimKhanQC were on the ground in February, and investigations continue.

In response to questions from the Cox's Bazar camp, Nick Koumijan, head of the #IIMM explains that the Mechanism have already started sharing information with the #ICC and #ICJ teams.

When asked who the #Rohingya should talk to, given how many courts are investigating, Nick Koumijans, head of the #IIMM, explains that if #Rohingya speak with the Mechanism, they can then share this evidence, with consent, with the other courts and legal teams.

Chantal Daniels: "Important to stress that this is not a competition between different justice mechanisms. The #ICC is looking into deportation, the #ICJ teams are trying to prove a genocide case. Our goal is to make sure that the #Rohingya stories and voices heard by the world."

Arselan Suleman, Counsel for The Gambia in the #ICJ case, answers a question from the camp the possible outcomes of the proceedings for the #Rohingya, including a change in the way states will deal with #Myanmar, and reparations for the community.

#Rohingya victims from Cox's Bazar ask questions directly to representatives from the @IntlCrimCourt, #ICJ and #IIMM, who engage with the main concerns of the community about the ongoing cases and investigations.
