World Court to hear Myanmar genocide case in January

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) will soon hear a big case about whether Myanmar, a country in Asia, did something very bad called genocide against a group of Muslim people called the Rohingya.

Gambia, a country in Africa, is bringing this case to the court with help from a group of Muslim countries.

The hearings will happen in January 2025.

Myanmar says they didn't do anything wrong, but Gambia and others say Myanmar's army hurt and forced many Rohingya people to leave their homes.

The court will listen to both sides and decide if Myanmar is guilty of genocide.

This is a very important case because it could set rules for future cases about genocide.
