In this episode of ICSF Seminars we discussed the legal, political and diplomatic challenges in extraditing these foreign nationals to Bangladesh as well as other options to bringing the alleged two individuals to justice. We also discussed the judicial options for initiating war crimes trial abroad if extradition fails, and strategise the various possible courses of campaign for accountability. The seminar focused on history of the campaign for justice that led to the proceedings being initiated against the two individuals, looking among other things at issues such as: • Allegations against these individuals. • The justice campaign that led to the initiation of these proceedings.
