Genocide is being captured on cellphones- Daviah Harrison





Rohinqya refugees gathered videos showing the genocide that is happening in Myanmar. Perpetrators must be prosecuted for their cruelty but Myanmar is unable and unwilling to establish justice. Once the UN security council pass a resolution referring the situation in Myanmar,prosecutors can build a case. Because of the refugee camp conditions and the approaching monsoon season, the evidence and witnesses are in danger of disappearing. The U.N. member states should create a new procedure to collect and obtain the evidence to be used for future prosecutions.

Genocide has happened on many previous events like the Holocaust,which is on the list of the most horrific genocides in history.Genocide is never the answer no matter how "different" a group of people may be from the next. This video can encourage  people to come together and teach the world to accept one another.But first, the antagonist must be punished so they will know that they cannot get away with such crimes.
