As with forced displacement and sexual violence, the UN documentation of extrajudicial killings and torture creates a prima facie case that justifies a thorough UN investigation into such violence.  UN actors document that the reported violations are perpetrated within a culture of impunity. UN documentation suggest the reported violations of extrajudicial killings and torture constitute international crimes.

Article 7 of the Rome Statute; forcible transfer of a population means the forced displacement of persons by expulsion, or other coercive acts, from where they are lawfully present, is a crime against humanity.

The evidence available strongly suggests that the military forces perpetration of prohibited acts of forced displacement in Burma constitute crimes against humanity prohibited by Articles 7 and/or war crimes prohibited by Article 8 of the Rome Statute.
