As the case accusing Myanmar of genocide against the Rohingya returns to the United Nations International Court of Justice (ICJ) there are questions about whether the country’s military rulers should be permitted to represent the country, reports AP.

On Monday the ICJ will hold four days of public hearings into Myanmar’s preliminary objections to the genocide case, bought by the African country of Gambia acting on behalf of an organisation of Muslim nations.

The case claims that the Myanmar military’s campaign launched in Rakhine State in 2017 that drove more than 700,000 Rohingya to flee to Bangladesh was a breach of the genocide convention.

In previous appearances before the ICJ Myanmar’s legal team was led by the then State Counsellor, Aung San Suu Kyi, who at the time, rejected all the accusations against the military.

Now that the Myanmar military has seized power and removed Aung San Suu Kyi it wants Myanmar to be represented by its legal team.

Opponents of the military coup say Myanmar should be represented at the ICJ by the National Unity Government (NUG), a government in exile formed in response to the coup. According to AP the NUG has appointed their U.N. Ambassador, Kyaw Moe Tun as an “acting alternate agent.”

The NUG would also like to withdraw Aung San Suu Kyi’s previous objections to the accusations made against the Myanmar military in the preliminary ICJ hearings. Her previous support of the military’s actions in Rakhine State had drawn international condemnation.
