Reuters Holding perpetrators of genocide in China, Myanmar, and elsewhere accountable for atrocities is a worldwide goal but there are many obstacles to seeking justice through courts, panelists told a Washington hearing this week. The Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, together with the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), hosted a hearing Wednesday on how to “hold perpetrators of mass atrocities accountable and ensure justice for victims.” Nury Turkel, USCIRF’s vice chair, said the Uyghurs of China and the Rohingya in Myanmar – Muslim groups whose treatment has been described as genocide, present particular challenges following Myanmar’s Feb. 1 military coup and with China’s international status and clout.
