| Summary/Abstract |
Awami League, the ruling political party of Bangladesh, has
vociferously adopted vengeful politics since it has come into power in 2009.
Instead of focusing on development and betterment of people, it is seeking
revenge from political opponents. Awami League established a domestic
tribunal named the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) on 25 March 2010. Its
purported objective was to detain, prosecute, and punish persons responsible
for committing genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and other
transgressions under international law. According to experts of international
law, this tribunal does not meet the international standards for dispensing
justice. They argue that its establishment is aimed at discrediting and
maligning the political opponents.
