DHAKA, Oct 09, 2024 (BSS) – Law Adviser Professor Dr Asif Nazrul today said that the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) will be reconstituted by next week and  the tribunal would be able to start its work in full scale within a month.

“We hope that the full scale judicial proceedings at ICT would begin within a month while the tribunal will be reconstituted within a week,” he said.

The law adviser said this while talking to journalists after   a meeting with the Chief Justice and other judges of the Appellate Division at the Supreme Court here.

The problems of the judiciary and the areas between the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs and the Supreme Court were discussed in the meeting for further coordination and cooperation, said Dr Asif.

He said with the appointment of 23 additional judges in the High Court, a significant progress has been made regarding the appointment of judges in the ICT.

“Until now, when judges were sought for the tribunal, it was often stated by the Supreme Court that there was a significant shortage of judges. Now, I hope that issue has largely been resolved,” the law advisor said.
