Abstract
The International Crimes Tribunals (ICTs) of Bangladesh are exclusively national tribunals, operating under the International Crimes (Tribunals) (Amendment) Act (ICT Act 1973 (amended)). These high powered special international crimes tribunals have been prosecuting and punishing individuals who committed, directly or indirectly, crimes against humanity, genocide, war crimes, and other serious crimes under international law during the Bangladesh war of independence from March to December 1971. Since its establishment in 2010, ICT-1 has been continuing its functions but ICT-2, formed in 2012, functioned until 2015 when its functioning was suspended indefinitely.
