National Trials of International Crimes in Bangladesh
Transitional Justice as Reflected in Judgments
Author:
In National Trials of International Crimes in Bangladesh, Professor Islam examines the judgments of the trials held under a domestic legislation, which is uniquely distinct from international or hybrid trials of international crimes. The book, falling under international criminal law area, is a ground-breaking original work on the first ever such trials in the ICC era. The author shows how the national law and judgments can act as a conduit to import international law to enrich and harmonise the domestic law of Bangladesh; and whether the Bangladesh experience (a) creates any precedential effect for such trials in the future; (b) offers any lessons for the ICC complementarity; and (c) contributes to the progressive development of Asian and international criminal jurisprudence.
M. Rafiqul Islam, LLM (1979), Ph.D. (1983), Monash University Australia, is a Professor of Law at Macquarie University Australia. He has published monographs, edited books, book chapters, and journal articles, including International Law: Current Concepts and Future Directions (LexisNexis 2014).
