United Nations investigators have declared Myanmar's army responsible for genocide against the Rohingya Muslim minority.

According to a four hundred and forty-four page probe report released by United Nations on Tuesday, an estimated ten thousand people were killed in the crackdown and that was likely a conservative figure.

The report urges the international community to investigate the military top brass for genocide, including Commander-in-chief Min Aung Hlaing.

The UN team said there were reasonable grounds to believe that the atrocities -- including systematic murder, rape, torture and arson -- were committed with the intention of destroying the stateless Rohingya, warranting the charges of genocide.

The UN team will present its findings to member states of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, after which Myanmar will have a chance to respond to the allegations.
