Aung San Suu Kyi will travel to The Hague to appear before the International Court of Justice after the Gambia filed a case accusing Myanmar of genocide against its Rohingya Muslim minority, her government said on Wednesday.

More than 730,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled to neighboring Bangladesh since a 2017 crackdown by Myanmar's military, which U.N. investigators say was carried out with “genocidal intent”. Buddhist majority of Myanmar denies accusations of genocide.
