The trial process is a critical part of that, but it is not the only issue to deal with. It is essential for Bangladesh to develop a comprehensive, coherent and principled strategy for dealing with its past. It has not done that yet. The country is at a critical juncture, and it falls on the government to seize the opportunity to make the most of a process of accountability. Any trial process, especially of such a charged matter as the crimes of the liberation war, must meet international standards in order to have any legitimacy, honour the victims and provide some kind of redress to survivors. But that is not enough. After 38 years, the damage to the fabric of society is immense, and a properly conducted trial process opens a window of opportunity to repair some of the harm. The gov- ernment must respond appropriately. My purpose in this paper is not to address the important wider issues of how Bangladesh should deal with the legacies of its past.

I welcome you to the magnum opus of this year’s PMUNC, The JCC: East Pakistan Crisis. My name is Prateek Swain and I will be your chair for the India committee. First, I’ll introduce myself; I will be starting my sophomore year at Princeton and will be majoring in Economics or Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy (depending on my mood when I have to declare) with a certificate in computer science. I have been debating as well as participating/chairing MUNs since my sophomore year of high school, and have carried on with these endeavors in college. Last year I was the Director for the Korean Reunification Committee at PMUNC, so I’m naturally extremely excited to be chairing this committee and have full faith that it will be a great experience for both you and me. This is certainly not my first crisis, but perhaps the one closest to my heart. Last semester, I took one of those eye opening classes at Princeton on Human Rights with Rebecca (Chair of the Pakistan committee) which set the foundation for this JCC to come into existence.

The remaining 10,324 to 12,500 prisoners were civilians, either family members of the military personnel or collaborators. • It is estimated that members of the Pakistani military and supporting pro Pakistani Islamist militias killed between 300,000 and 3,000,000 civilians in Bangladesh.

He was enrolled in J 4 Guards on December 27, J 962. During the Indo-Pak War J971, 14 Guards was tasked to capture a Pakistani position at Gangasagar, 6 \11. km west of Agartala, in the 14 Guards Eastern Sector. It was a well-fortified position held in good strength by the enemy. The reduction of this position was considered necessary as it was the key to the capture ofAkhaura. J 4 Guards launched an attack on enemy positions at 0400 hours on December 3. Albert Ekka accompanied the left forward company of the Battalion in the attack. The assaulting Indian troops were subjected to intense shelling and heavy small arms fire by the enemy. Lance Naik Ekka observed that an enemy light machine gun was belching deadly fire from a bunker, causing heavy casualties to his Company. Unmindful ofhis personal safety, he charged the bunker, bayonetted two occupants and silenced the light machine gun. Though seriously injured in this December 27, 1942· December 3. 1971 encounter, he continued to fight alongside his comrades with courage, securing bunker after bunker. After battling through a distance ofone and­ a-half kilometres, when Ekka and his comrades reached the northern end of the objective, an enemy medium machine gun opened up from the second storey ofa well fortified building.
