THE HAGUE: Canadian lawyer William Schabas,
an international scholar on genocide, has been criticised by friend and
foe for first researching crimes against the Muslim Rohingya of
Myanmar, and now defending the state accused of perpetrating them.
Schabas
helped research a report in 2010 on systematic attacks against the
Rohingya, which concluded that they met the international threshold of
crimes against humanity.
