Background History & Intelligence Context
Min Aung Hlaing has been linked to Myanmar military operations accused of mass killings, torture, rape, village destruction and forced displacement of Rohingya. During the 2017 military crackdown in Rakhine State, more than 700,000 Rohingya were driven into Bangladesh. UN investigators accused the military leadership of serious international crimes, including crimes against humanity and genocide-related acts. In 2024, the ICC Prosecutor sought an arrest warrant for Min Aung Hlaing over alleged crimes against humanity against the Rohingya.
