Zeteo reported that international law expert Alonso Gurmendi argued the U.S. and Western allies apply inconsistent standards in acknowledging atrocities, citing their response to violence in Gaza alongside Rohingya Genocide Remembrance Day observations. Gurmendi contended that Western powers invoke genocide designations selectively based on geopolitical interests rather than consistent application of international law.
The criticism emerged as commemorations of the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar coincided with the ongoing conflict in Gaza, raising questions about how major powers frame mass atrocities and whether their positions reflect principled legal standards or strategic calculations.
