Chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Karim AA Khan called on chief adviser professor Muhammad Yunus on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly at the UN headquarters in New York on Thursday.
Professor Yunus asked him about the procedure to file a case of crime against humanity at the ICC against the perpetrators of the massacre during the July-August student-people uprising, which left at least 700 people dead and more than聽 20,000 injured.
Karim Khan said that Bangladesh could definitely file a complaint at The Hague-based court, but there were rules to be followed for filing a crime against humanity case at the ICC.
During the meeting, Karim Khan apprised professor Yunus of the latest developments on the investigations into the Rohingya deportation, launched by the ICC in 2019. He also praised Yunus鈥檚 three-point proposals to bring a new momentum to resolve the Rohingya crisis.
The chief adviser made the proposal at a meeting at the UN headquarters on Wednesday when the ICC chief prosecutor also spoke.
The proposals included an urgent conference, hosted by the UN chief, to review the overall situation and suggest way outs, energised joint response plan for the Rohingya humanitarian crisis and serious international efforts to support justice and accountability to address the genocide committed in Rakhine state of Myanmar in 2017.
鈥楾he three points are perfect,鈥� Karim Khan said.
He also said that he would visit Bangladesh by the end of the year.
