"[This book] examines the judgments of the trials held under a domestic legislation, which is uniquely distinct from international or hybrid trials of international crimes...The author shows how the national law and judgments can act as a conduit to import international law to enrich and harmonise the domestic law of Bangladesh; and whether the Bangladesh experience (a) creates any precedential effect for such trials in the future; (b) offers any lessons for the ICC complementarity; and (c) contributes to the progressive development of Asian and international criminal jurisprudence."-- Back cover.
