Gambia’s Justice Minister Abubacarr Tambadou, who spent more than a decade prosecuting cases from Rwanda’s 1994 genocide, will face off against a Myanmar delegation led by Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, in The Hague next week
BANJUL - The genocide case brought against Myanmar at the International Court of Justice - the first of its kind initiated since the 1990s - may not have happened at all but for a scheduling conflict.
“I saw genocide written all over these stories,” Tambadou said in an interview in Gambia’s capital, Banjul. Tambadou will ask the judges to immediately order Myanmar to cease violence against Rohingya civilians and preserve evidence that could eventually form the basis of a finding that Myanmar committed genocide. Myanmar has vowed to contest the case.For 22 years, former President Yahya Jammeh’s security forces had killed and tortured scores of real or perceived political opponents, according to evidence presented to an ongoing truth commission.
The son of a businessman from Banjul, the 46-year-old Tambadou studied law in Britain before returning to Gambia in the late 1990s to practice. As justice minister since 2017, his decisions have occasionally put him at odds with former colleagues, such as when he ordered members of a Jammeh-era hit squad released from prison on technical grounds.
