US expresses support for war crime trials
The US supports bringing to justice those who committed atrocities in the 1971 Liberation War, recognising that it is an important process for Bangladesh to undertake, said US Department of State Acting Spokesperson Marie Harf.
Supporting the ongoing war crimes trials, Harf said Bangladesh has decisions to make on its own.
In reply to questions during a regular briefing at the State Department in Washington DC on Monday, Harf stressed further improvements to the International Crimes Tribunals' processes to meet domestic and international obligations.
“I think something we'll keep talking to them (Bangladesh) about, but don't have much more analysis other than that of what happened…we'll continue – we understand this is a complicated issue and I think we'll continue having those conversations with the Bangladeshis.”
