Dr Lee said: “Justice is going to catch up, slowly, but it is going to catch up with the perpetrators of these crimes within Myanmar. I do note that the ICC in its announcement today, did not suggest that its solely the military that will be investigated. They have approved an investigation to be undertaken. There's Rohingya in Myanmar at the moment who the UN says are in imminent danger of genocide.”
