THE HAGUE/YANGON: Myanmar has submitted its first report to the International Court of Justice on steps it has taken to prevent the genocide of Rohingya Muslims, the UN's top court said Tuesday morning (May 26).

The ICJ made a provisional order in January that majority-Buddhist Myanmar must take "all measures within its power" to stop the alleged genocide of the minority group, and that it must report to the court at regular intervals.
