ABSTRACT
This chapter considers the trial of war criminals in Bangladesh to analyze whether justice has been properly defined in Bangladesh. It discusses the relevance of applied methods and the mechanisms of transitional justice processes. The chapter focuses on the transitional justice processes of reparation to reconcile the condition of the victims. It explores whether transitional justice could be an option in reestablishing human rights and ensuring the practice of transitional justice in Bangladesh. Transitional justice procedures are proposed for Bangladesh to solve the issue of war criminals who violated human rights in 1971. In 2009, Bangladesh’s government decided to apply the first and foremost option of prosecution to provide justice to the victims of the atrocity of 1971. The flipping sides of the whole transitional justice process as performed in the case of Bangladesh reached such a point that the government needed to decide how it could be further managed.
