Basically, #Myanmar doubts that the #FFM for #Myanmar did a decent job. They discredit the work of this #UN organ as well as those of #NGO s working on the issue. In regard to the #IIMM, they then argue that even they could not come up with more than 42 witness statements in 7 years ... #Rohingya

#Myanmar is criticising that so many #IIMM witness statements were provided anonymously. "How can one know if the statements are not contradictory?" asks the counsel. I understand the point and think #TheGambia should clarify why it was necessary to protect anonymity in these cases.

"The #IIMM reports do not deal with events on the ground in 2016-17" Staker doubts the witness statements by #IIMM (only 42 provided to #TheGambia after 7 years of work) out of which only 12 were put into the case). The Gambia "simply has no case"; aka: discrediting the fact-finding reports.

The agent of The Gambia is ALSO quoting @amnesty.org@bsky.brid.gy reporting - alongside the #IIMM and #FFM #UN reports. It is additional information that is used to corraborate evidence gathered elsewhere. So these reports are used as sources to which the #ICJ gives evidential weight! #Myanmar

very useful chart provided by the #IIMM on how the #ICJ operates, what the case #TheGambia vs #Myanmar is about, what happens after the hearings are over and why the case matters! iimm.un.org/sites/defaul...

The Gambia mentions six #UN #FFM and #IIMM analytical reports in particular which have been products by fact-finding commissions, commissions of inquiry - they emanate from “disinterested witness”. Only #Myanmar objects to that, says the agent of The Gambia.
