August 25 will mark three years since the Myanmar military began a deadly crackdown on its Rohingya Muslim population. The ethnic cleansing campaign, which has been categorized as genocide by both the UN & various human rights groups, has involved mass killing, rape, and arson that have forced an estimated 740,000 Rohingya refugees to flee across Myanmar’s border into neighboring Bangladesh and elsewhere. There are nearly 1 million stateless Rohingya refugees who have fled persecution from Myanmar since the 1990s. Three years in, Myanmar’s government has rebuffed UN and ICC's efforts to investigate and adjudicate these alleged atrocities.
