Myanmar Genocide

Myanmar is a recent example of systemic violence against Rohingya Muslims. They are deprived of their rights as citizens of Myanmar. The atrocities committed against the one group through state apparatus is a punishable crime as per the ruling of the International Criminal Court. The United Nations Charter also considers systemic violence as a violation of basic human rights.

Systemic violence is the active use of state machinery to marginalize one group within the state. It involves denying them their right to have protection against prosecution without due process of law. Systemic violence alienates one group from the state using state institutions and blocks them from living in the country.

According to the reports by UN the heavy weapons are used against civilians. It is prohibited and implemented through international law regulations. The areas of Rohingya Muslims are targeted through planned operations to reduce their autonomy within Myanmar. The global powers have imposed sanctions to prevent the killing of innocent civilians by their government.

AlinationThe reports published by international agencies and organisations for human rights violations have condemned the killings of the Rohingya Muslim population. The operations are launched specifically on the Muslim population to decrease their autonomy within the state of Myanmar. The country’s Rohingya Muslim minority was forced to leave in 2017. It was the result of a campaign that involved the burning of Rohingya villages and pushing them to leave the country. The Rohingya Muslims are taking refuge in other countries to protect their lives. The military operation is conducted on Rohingya Muslims to reduce their stakes within the state of Myanmar.


According to one of the reports of United Nation humanitarian assistance agencies, the killing of Rohingya Muslims is cited as an example of ethnic cleansing. The isolation of one group by state and eliminating them through violent means falls into the category of ethnic cleansing. Ethnic cleansing is a crime as per the ruling of the International Criminal Court(ICC).

Melting Glaciers in Antarctic Region

Satellite images show the 1,200sq km (463sq miles) Conger Ice Shelf collapsed completely in March. According to studies by scientists, the large chunks of ice attached to the land acts as a buffer to prevent ice from melting and flowing into the ocean increasing the risk of submergence due to a rise in sea level on the land areas. The areas on coastlines are in danger of receding land areas due to the rise in sea levels. The temperature reaching 40C (70F) above normal in parts of East Antarctica, is unusual for the region during this time of the year. Scientists, consider the melting of ice in Antarctica is likely to increase the risk of flooding. The rapid pace of melting of ice has adverse effects on the land adjoining the ocean. Melting of ice is creating an effect Neff described as “a fire hose of moisture phenomenon. The rate of climate change is three times warmer in the Antarctic than in the Arctic Ocean. In the context of factors, first and foremost is the increase in greenhous...
