Abstract

The International Crimes Tribunal of Bangladesh (ICT-BD) was established by the International Crimes (Tribunals) Act 1973 to prosecute international crimes committed during the liberation war in Bangladesh. Although Bangladesh is a member state of the Rome Statute, the International Criminal Court (ICC) cannot exercise its jurisdiction as the crimes were committed long before the Rome Statute’s entry into force in 2002.
