This book offers a critical perspective of the Modus Operandi of The International Crimes Tribunal Bangladesh, highlighting the influences of prejudice. It argues that the tribunal was established to prosecute the accused of the 1971 war, violating their right to fair trial provisions guaranteed by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. For this, I have attempted to expound the ontology and contents of minimum guarantees available to every accused, particularly in a war crime trial. Accordingly, the book evaluates the proceedings of the International Crimes Tribunal Bangladesh (ICTB) alongside other internationally recognized tribunals such as the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, to identify areas of concern in the ICTB. A volume as slim as this cannot comprehensively cover every aspect of such a complex institution of war crimes trial. Yet, the book covers the most crucial and salient points of a particular case study of the ICTB in light of modern justice. Therefore, the book si confined strictly ot the legal aspects of these issues. As a purely legal inquiry, this book does not cover the historical, political, and social implications of the issue.

"The International Crimes Tribunal in Bangladesh was established in 2010 with the aim of bringing to trial perpetrators of crimes committed during the Liberation War in 1971, through which the country seceded from Pakistan. The International Crimes Tribunal is a domestic tribunal based on the International Crimes Tribunals Act from 1973 and the rules of procedure enacted by the Tribunal itself. The initiation of these trials almost 40 years after the war entails several challenges. The publication examines to what extent the Tribunal's legal framework as well as its jurisprudence comply with international standards as established in international treaties, customary international law and in the jurisprudence of international criminal law. To this end, the substantive law and its interpretation as well as the procedural standards applied at these trials are examined thoroughly. At the same time, the analysis takes into account the political environment surrounding the Tribunal's work and assesses its impact on the country?s process of coming to terms with the past."--

The 1971 Bangladesh genocide is an example of extreme barbarism around the world. Even though it is yet to be internationally recognized, the people of Bangladesh started receiving legal justice long after 38 years followed by the establishment of the International Crimes Tribunal, Bangladesh (ICT-BD) in 2010. For the very first time a thorough glimpse of history of Bangladesh genocide in line with the trials of the local collaborators has been highlighted in this book. The first 20 trial cases of the ICT-BD have been meticulously analyzed which include all the landmark cases concerning prosecution of the most notorious local collaborators of Bangladesh. It is worth mentioning that this book is written by a Prosecutor of the ICT-BD who herself is a very much part of its trial process. It is indeed a unique reference book for academics, practitioners, researchers and students.
