A new UN report says Myanmar's military should be investigated for the ethnic cleansing of its muslim Rohingya people, an accusation it has rejected. The report also blamed Aung Sang Suu Kyi, a long-term leader of the pro-democracy movement, for failing to prevent the violence.
But what is the psychological process by which a nation reaches the point where it will permit or even participate in the attempted expulsion and extermination of a whole section of society?
Azeem Ibrahim, senior fellow at the Centre for Global Policy, author of The Rohingyas - inside Myanmar's hidden genocide, and James Smith, co-founder of the Aegis Trust, which works to prevent genocide, discuss the situation.
