Myanmar's military officials must face genocide charges: UN report

A report released by the United Nations calls for six senior military
leaders in Myanmar to stand trial and be investigated for genocide.

At least 700,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled parts of Myanmar over the past year.

The UN calls for the case to be referred to the International Criminal
Court and sharply criticizes Nobel Peace Prize laureate and de-facto
leader Aung San Suu Kyi for not doing more to stop the violence.
