Britain’s complicity in genocide

SERBIAN general Ratko Mladic was this week sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of genocide and crimes against humanity during the Bosnian war more than 20 years ago. I dearly hope that someone will follow him into the dock of a United Nations-backed international criminal tribunal for their responsibility for the current genocide against the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. It could be the country’s leader, Nobel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, or the army commanderin-chief, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing. Whoever is eventually found to be accountable for ordering the killings, the British Government should not be spared from damning criticism for its failure to take action to halt the massacres.
