ANALYSIS: From international celebrity to global pariah. What happened to Aung San Suu Kyi?
Myanmar is being prosecuted as a state, so Ms Suu Kyi won't be held personally accountable for genocide if the case is proven."There is a discrepancy between the opinion of Myanmar and the international community. She has to explain what has really taken place in northern Rakhine," Myo Nyunt, a spokesman for her party, said.
"Although it's not personal, she is the leader of that Government and she will be seen as such," former diplomat and Rakhine State commission adviser Laetita van den Assum said. Mr Smith says Ms Suu Kyi's motivation to defend the military may be more simple than anyone realises.
