The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has said that those who deliver verdicts must also be held accountable for their mistakes and shortcomings. “The International Crimes Tribunal Act 1973 is a special law,” Tajul said. Only the International Crimes Tribunal has the authority to try them.”“This law is protected by the Constitution of Bangladesh,” Tajul added. “Articles 47(3) and 47(a) of our Constitution clearly state that all laws made in the field of international law -- crimes against humanity, war crimes, genocide -- even if inconsistent with the Constitution, will prevail. That is, the Constitution itself has stated that the value of the Crimes Tribunal Act of 1973 is stronger than the Constitution.
