In 2018, the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar found that there were reasonable grounds to believe the Myanmar military had perpetrated war crimes, crimes against humanity and possibly genocide against the Rohingya people. It recommended that the Security Council refer the situation to the International Criminal Court, but that recommendation is unlikely to be acted upon. This article considers whether, if the Security Council fails to act, the General Assembly may establish an ad hoc international criminal tribunal. It examines first the competency of the General Assembly to consider and make recommendations on matters of international peace and security, as explicitly articulated in the United Nations (UN) Charter and as implied by the purposes and principles of the UN. It then analyses the relevance and applicability of the General Assembly’s Uniting for Peace Resolution. It argues that the General Assembly has previously interpreted its powers to include the establishment of bodies it deems necessary for the maintenance of peace and security, and that in the case of Myanmar there is no reason it could not take the further step of establishing an ad hoc international criminal tribunal c albeit one without coercive powers.

对罗兴亚人犯罪的问责

2018 年，缅甸独立国际实况调查团发现，有合理理由相信缅甸军方对罗兴亚人犯下了战争罪、危害人类罪和可能的种族灭绝罪。它建议安全理事会将局势提交国际刑事法院，但该建议不太可能被执行。本条考虑如果安理会不采取行动，大会是否可以设立一个特设国际刑事法庭。它首先审查了大会审议国际和平与安全问题并提出建议的能力，正如《联合国宪章》明确阐述的那样，以及联合国宗旨和原则所暗示的那样。然后分析了大会“团结起来促进和平”决议的相关性和适用性。它争辩说，大会先前已将其权力解释为包括建立它认为维护和平与安全所必需的机构，而且就缅甸而言，没有理由不采取进一步措施，建立一个特设国际刑事法庭 c 尽管没有强制力。
