Union Advisory Council Announced
Q: So what's your view on the new Union Advisory Council Law and Min Aung Hlaing's ambitions?
Amara believes that the council's formation is a strategy for Min Aung Hlaing to secure his presidency by accommodating military officials and ensuring that military influence remains strong in governance during their transition to a civilian government.

Success could lead to reparations for Rohingyas, including repealing the citizenship law and acknowledging past crimes, contributing to a reset for justice in Myanmar.

The Gambia became involved through its former attorney general, who visited refugee camps and recognized patterns of persecution reminiscent of historical genocides.
Third Phase of Voting & Arguments at the ICJ
