The UN and trial of war criminals
Thanks to the government for informally discussing the trial of war criminals with the Secretary General of the UN. We do not know the basis of such a discussion. We were given no hint that the issue might be raised by the adviser for foreign affairs during his current visit to the UN. If it was done with a purpose, we welcome the move, but we would expect the government to give full details of this action to the nation. The issue is of supreme importance for our survival as independent Bangladesh when the war criminals are receiving strategic support and cooperation from known and unknown quarters at home and abroad.
I would also urge upon the local UN office to tell us what they know about this meeting and what the actual response of the Secretary General was, if any. Please don't deny us the right to information.
