[ALOCHONA] Is Bangladesh the only 'safe haven' for a War Criminal like Ghulam Azam?

          When mass murders of unarmed civilians are committed with weapons supplied to Pakistan Army by military aid from the USA, international pressure to bring the war criminals to justice evaporates as though by some magic!  One of the most gruesome genocides of the 20th century was committed in 1971 in the then East Pakistan, now Bangladesh. Yet Bangladesh has struggled mightily for 40 years to bring the perpetrators of crimes against humanity to an International Crimes Tribunal.

<< The lesson of principled pressure for justice should not be lost elsewhere in the world. International tribunals do not have police or military forces at their disposal. To achieve their promise of justice and deterrence, they depend on international cooperation. Absent military intervention (rarely a realistic or advisable option), capturing war criminals requires sustained, principled pressure on governments that harbor suspects. >>
