United Nations (UN) investigators have warned that more than 600 thousand Muslims in Myanmar ( which was known previously as Burma) face genocide in the near future.
Muslims in Myanmar are descendants of the Rohingya ethnicity.
The UN investigators ask the international community to refer members of the military junta to the International Criminal Court ( ICC) as they commit crimes against humanity.
The UN Fact Finding Mission released a report on Monday says that it has convincing reasons to extract evidences that the state in Myanmar has intended to commit genocide against Muslims since 2018.
The report went on to say that more massacres are still threatening Muslims.
Members of the UN mission accuse authorities of Myanmar of planning and carrying out those massacres.
They stress that file of genocide crimes in Myanmar should be urgently referred to the ICC.
The UN investigators revealed that Myanmar government broke commitment to abide articles of 1984 treaty to prevent genocide acts and take all measurements to foil any attempt to hatch those acts.
Myanmar was among signatories of that treaty.
It is worth to mention that Myanmar’s authorities have revoked visas of the UN team.
Since August 2017 the army of Myanmar has started a campaign of genocide against Muslims.
Some 740 thousand Muslims fled the western part of that country in south east Asia after a harsh crackdown of the army.
Muslim refugees ran to the other side of borders with Bangladesh where they reside in miserable camps.
The UN officials affirm that Muslim refugees could not return home as the extremist Buddhists vow to massacre them.
Head of the UN team pointed out that thousands of Muslims were murdered and buried in catacombs.
He warns that the fanatic Buddhists are still committing ethnic cleansing in districts where the Muslims abide.
