The cases · Myanmar and the camps of Bangladesh
The Rohingya
The ICJ case brought by The Gambia stands and its provisional measures bind Myanmar. The work is to enforce them and to protect the camps.
Goals
What we aim for by month 12
Genocide Convention Enforcement Compact
International.By month 12 a founding group of willing states has signed the Compact and applies arms, fuel, port and trade measures in national law, case by case: on Israel under the ICJ orders and ES-10/24, on the RSF's suppliers through the UAE under resolution 1591, and on Myanmar's military and its jet-fuel supply.Approved by the Advocacy and Lobby Manager.
Enforcing states' coalition
International.Hague Group members have written the Bogotá arms, fuel and port measures into national law and given the coalition a standing secretariat so that the measures survive withdrawals.Approved by the Advocacy and Lobby Manager.
Compact Protection Facility
International.The facility holds a mutual, riba-free (interest-free) cover, funded by member states, that indemnifies Compact members hit by US financial retaliation and settles their enforcement-related trade in local currencies, with no front companies or shadow fleets.Approved by the Operations, Finance and AI Manager.
Justice Council Relief Waqf Trust
International.The trust is registered, audited and under a sharia board, holds zakat and waqf in trust, and is paying relief in Gaza, Sudan, the Rohingya camps and to Uyghur families through verified channels, with a ring-fenced, sanctions-proof Palestine fund and UNRWA's cut services funded.Approved by the Operations, Finance and AI Manager.
Independent Scholars' Council
International.The council has issued joint rulings (fatwas) that enforcing the existing rulings is a duty of Muslim states and communities, and mosques in many countries preach and act on them, in place of the captured OIC Fiqh Academy and Muslim World League.Approved by the Chair.
Banks, firms, investors and standard-setters
International.Shippers, insurers, banks, refiners and asset managers have adopted exclusion lists built from the listings tracker, covering the named Myanmar fuel vessels and Cai Mep terminal, UAE-refined Sudanese gold, military cargo to Israel and listed Xinjiang forced-labour entities.Approved by the Operations, Finance and AI Manager.
UN General Assembly and UN member states
International.The General Assembly has reconvened its emergency special session to follow up resolution ES-10/24 with state reports, and has again denied Myanmar's junta the seat.Approved by the Advocacy and Lobby Manager.
Sanctions, customs and export regulators
National.Customs and export regulators apply the forced-labour bans to third-country routes and seafood and processors, and sanctions authorities have extended designations to the Sudanese gold, fuel and aviation enablers.Approved by the Legal Manager.
Mosques, zakat and waqf bodies and Muslim households
Local.Mosques and households give zakat and waqf to the trust through two giving cycles, avoid listed goods, and keep each case before the congregation from the pulpit.Approved by the Operations, Finance and AI Manager.
