UN court hears genocide case against Myanmar over treatment of Rohingya

The United Nations' top court has begun hearings on a landmark case accusing Myanmar of committing genocide against its Rohingya Muslim minority. The case was brought by the West African nation of Gambia, which argued that Myanmar made the Rohingya's lives a 'nightmare.' Myanmar's government has denied the accusations, calling them 'unsubstantiated,' while the UN also reports that at least 170 people were killed in recent air strikes in the country.
