COMPATIBILITY OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMES TRIBUNAL IN BANGLADESH: A COMPARATIVE LEGAL ANALYSIS

Abstract The birth of Bangladesh was a history of bloodshed in this sub-continent. It has often been said that the atrocities of 1971 in the then East Pakistan was the bloodiest one after the Second World War. The Pakistan’s military did these atrocities on this land with the help of local collaborators i.e. Rajakars, Al-Badr, Al-Shams etc. It was a long-cherished dream for the Bangladeshis to bring those culprits within the purview of law and be given proper punishment according to law. In this pursuance, Bangladesh has established the International Crimes Tribunal in 2010 in accordance with the International Crimes Tribunal Act, 2010. After the establishment of the Tribunal, it has faced a large criticism and challenges as well. Is not easy to try those perpetrators after so many years because they have already been powerfully settled in politics. In this paper, I focused on why it is really important to try those perpetrators, what are the challenges to try, other standards to be maintained to ensure the trail without any question.
