Abstract

ABSTRACK 1944 the term genocide was first coined by Raphael Lemkin and was made a legal term in the 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. Article 6 of the Rome Statute states that genocide is an act committed systematically with the aim of destroying or exterminating all or part of a nation, ethnicity, race, or group. The Rohingya massacre in Myanmar is still happening today. The problem of genocide against ethnic Rphingya not only has an impact on the internal stability of the country, but also affects the regional region, especially ASEAN. How are the rules of Universal Jurisdiction according to International Law, 2. How is the application of Universal Jurisdiction to the resolution of genocide crimes? This research uses a normative juridical approach which is carried out by examining library materials which include research on legal principles, and legal theories. This research aims to analyze the application of the concept of universal jurisdiction to the crime of genocide according to international law, focusing on the case study of the Rohingya ethnic massacre in Myanmar. The results show that the basis for the application of universal jurisdiction over international crimes is custom and international treaties. Despite political and diplomatic obstacles, universal jurisdiction provides an opportunity for states or international institutions to bring perpetrators of the Rohingya genocide to justice, even though Myanmar has not ratified the Rome Statute. This research also highlights the importance of international cooperation in tackling impunity for international crimes and providing justice for victims.
