The United Nation's Human Rights chief has told the BBC that he has assumed that Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi sanctioned the repression¹ of the Rohingya Muslim minority. Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein stressed that decisions must have been taken at a high level, given the scale of the military operations that have left thousands dead and forced hundreds of thousands to flee the country. Mr. Hussein said Myanmar's leader could face genocide charges in the future. On the basis of what we can say, we feel that you cannot rule it out. The question of intentionality, it's very hard to establish that cause the thresholds are high and that's why we continue to say that the court has to do this. But it wouldn't surprise me in the future if the court would make such finding. Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel peace prize winner, declined to respond to the comments.

联合国人权事务负责人在接受BBC采访时表示，他认为缅甸实际领导人昂山素季是镇压罗兴亚穆斯林的罪魁祸首。扎伊德·拉阿德·侯赛因强调称，这一决定一定是高层下达的，我们通过大规模军事行动就可以看出，此次事件造成数千人遇难，数十万人逃亡。侯赛因指出缅甸领导人或将面临种族屠杀的指控。根据现在所发生的一切，我们不能排除这种可能。我们现在还很难确定这是不是故意而为之，这起事件事关重大，所以我们一直说要法院出面解决。如果法院真的找到了证据，我觉得我也不会感到惊讶。曾经获得过诺贝尔和平奖的昂山素季拒绝对此作出回应。

Delegates of the conference of South Africa's governing ANC have been voting through the night to choose a new leader to succeed President Jacob Zuma. The tense contest between the Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa and former Foreign Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma has been marred³ by allegations of fraud and intimidation⁴. Milton Cossy is at the ANC conference. People here have been telling us that they think this will be the closest result they've seen in many years. Remember the ANC is the largest political party in South Africa with a plus-minus one million paid members. It's got an Executive Committee of about eighty and is the oldest liberation movement on the African continent, and that's why this matters, because the ANC is the glue that brought all the anti-apartheid and liberation movements together. And they delivered on the freedom of black people who were under the oppression.
