Solicitor General and Legal Secretary at Gambia’s Ministry of Justice Cherno Marenah has said, Gambia will submit the first memorandum in the case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over Rohingya issue in October.
“We are working extremely hard along with international lawyers,” he said.
Marenah has mentioned that The Gambia always takes the lead when it comes to humanitarian crises, and they are especially active in the African continent.
He made the remarks while addressing a two-day international Rohingya e-Conference “Connecting Rohingya Diaspora: Highlighting the Global Displacement” that ended on Wednesday night.
The conference was organised on the occasion of the third anniversary of the massive influx of Rohingya into Bangladesh; by ActionAid Bangladesh in association with the Centre for Genocide Studies, Dhaka University and the Centre for Peace and Justice, BRAC University.
It urged the international community to come forward to ensure justice and accountability for the safe, dignified and voluntary repatriation of the Rohingya people in Bangladesh, especially in resolving the Rohingya crisis.
The E-Conference was attended by experts, researchers, academicians, human rights activists and humanitarian workers working on the Rohingya diaspora from 12 countries, including Bangladesh and Myanmar.
Participating states are encouraged to support the steps taken by the ICC/ICJ to ensure justice and accountability for the Rohingya.

Marenah as the guest of honour. Speaking at the event, the Foreign Secretary expressed concerns over the possibility of conflict if the crisis prolongs. Despite Bangladesh’s willingness to achieve peaceful repatriation of the Rohingya Refugees, Myanmar’s disinterest is proving to be a major obstacle.
