TRIAL OF A NATION

Description

TRIAL OF A NATION “The Modus Operandi of the International Crimes Tribunal Bangladesh”

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, violent 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 silent points of a particular case study of the ICTB in light of modern justice. Therefore, the book is confined strictly to the legal aspects of these issues. As a purely inquiry, this book does not cover the historical, political, and social implications of the issue.
