1971 Bangladesh War Crimes Tribunal

The 1971 Bangladesh War Crimes Tribunal was established to investigate and prosecute individuals involved in atrocities committed during Bangladesh's Liberation War against Pakistan. During this conflict, widespread violence, including genocide, mass killings, and crimes against humanity, occurred. After independence, Bangladesh set up the tribunal to hold accountable those responsible, ensuring justice for victims and acknowledging the war’s human costs. The tribunal aimed to uphold justice, promote national reconciliation, and prevent impunity for war crimes committed during this pivotal moment in Bangladesh’s history.
