Just days after the United Nations accused his military of brutally driving what eventually became 1 million Rohingya out of the country, Myanmar's then-army chief Min Aung Hlaing declared his position on the minority Muslim community.

International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan KC on Wednesday sought an arrest warrant for Myanmar General and Acting President Min Aung Hlaing. The ICC alleges crimes against humanity targeting the Rohingya.

ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan said that the International Criminal Court seeks to vindicate the resilience and hope of the minority community of Rohingya in the power of the law.
