Bahzad Joarder, a graduate of the University of Birmingham, presented the second paper titled ‘Prosecuting Crimes Against Humanity at the ICTs of Bangladesh'. All three presenters were supported by scholarships offered by the American Society of Comparative Law and Koç University, the release added.
