Western diplomats remain concerned that unless the government further amends the International Crimes (Tribunals) Act 1973, the trials of war criminals may not meet the minimum international standards of due process and fairness. The concern was expressed to The Daily Star by diplomats supportive of the Bangladesh government's decision to hold trials of people alleged to have committed war crimes during the 1971 War of Independence.
