Appendiceal tumours are uncommon neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. An understanding of the imaging appearances facilitates an accurate radiological description, which guides surgical and oncological management. In this study, a retrospective review of the CT imaging and histopathology of all cases of appendiceal tumours discussed at the oncology multidisciplinary meetings in a single centre, over an 8‐year period (2012–2019) is performed. The array and incidence of both common and rare pathologies are investigated, and important characteristic imaging findings for radiologists to recognize are highlighted.
In this article we map heritage destruction in Myanmar's Rakhine state. We outline the historic and contemporary political context in Myanmar explaining the background of the Rohingya Muslim ethnic group and addressing the contribution of religion and political change to anti-Rohingya discrimination and violence in Myanmar. We trace patterns of heritage destruction as legal and/or illegal iconoclasm and specify the key elements of heritage destruction in Rakhine state. Our analysis focusses on the use of heritage destruction in Rakhine state as a tool of genocide, and we suggest that heritage destruction in Myanmar's Rakhine state ought to be understood as part the authorities' policies of genocide against the Rohingya. We conclude the article with a call for UNESCO to act to extend its Unite4Heritage campaign to include the destruction of heritage by state actors.
This article argues that Myanmar's authorities subject the Rohingya to human
rights violations that can be accurately described as the crime of apartheid.
Myanmar's discriminatory application of its citizenship laws and processes is
central to this crime, yet while Myanmar is not a signatory to the Rome Statute
of the International Criminal Court, the court's jurisdiction remains limited.
However, Myanmar's government has brought this crime to the territory of
International Criminal Court (ICC) member state Bangladesh. Because Myanmar's
government insists upon Rohingya participation in discriminatory citizenship
processes as a precondition of refugee repatriation to Myanmar, this presents
the ICC with an opportunity to assert its jurisdiction. While current ICC
investigation focusses mostly on alleged crimes committed by the Myanmar
military, crimes associated with Myanmar's citizenship processes would likely be
the responsibility of Myanmar's civilian government, including State Counsellor
Aung San Suu Kyi, making Myanmar's civilian political leaders liable for the
first time to ICC prosecution.
