| Impact statement: This publication analyzes the legal significance of the United States’ formal recognition of atrocities committed against the Rohingya as genocide. It examines how such recognition may influence ongoing international legal proceedings, particularly efforts to establish Myanmar’s responsibility under the Genocide Convention. By assessing the relationship between genocide determinations, state responsibility, and international accountability mechanisms, the article contributes to scholarly and policy discussions on the prevention of mass atrocities and the protection of vulnerable populations under international law. | Collaboration: None | Keywords: Rohingya, Genocide, Myanmar, International Law, Genocide Convention, Human Rights, State Responsibility, Accountability |
