High Court Justice M Enayetur Rahim has been appointed as the Chairman of the first war crimes tribunal of Bangladesh. The Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliament Affairs issued a circular to this effect on Sunday. The International Crimes Tribunal-1 was set up in 2010 to try crimes against humanity during Bangladesh’s 1971 Liberation War. The tribunal ceased to function since its former Chairman Justice ATM Fazle Kabir retired on Dec 31 last year. At present, the tribunal is dealing with five cases, according to bdnews24.com.
