Bangladesh suffered a violent birth. In the last days of 1971 the country then called East Pakistan was engulfed by torture, rape, mass-killing and other acts of genocide. In 2010 Bangladesh established a tribunal to try those accused of war crimes. It is called the International Crimes Tribunal. Ten people have been arrested and charged with offences ranging from individual acts of rape and murder to the ordering of mass executions. This week the first case--that of Delwar Hossain Sayeedi--seemed to be moving towards its fatal conclusion. At the last moment, however, the presiding judge, Mohammed Nizamul Huq, resigned, following questions put to him by The Economist and the publication in Bangladesh of private e-mails which cast doubt upon his role and upon the court proceedings. These concerns are so serious that there is a risk not only of a miscarriage of justice affecting the individual defendants, but also that the wrongs which Bangladesh has already suffered will be aggravated by the flawed process of the tribunal.
