Climate change is a global phenomenon being experienced by all levels of society, and in different types of ecosystems. It can have adverse impact on food security, water supply, and livelihood among others, especially for the poor and more vulnerable sections of human society.

There has been a remarkable transformation of the rural economy in Bangladesh during the last decades leading to significant reductions in poverty. National statistics and other reports have documented the progress in agriculture, infrastructure, health, education and the improved condition for women in rural Bangladesh.

In this book, Professor Islam examines the quest of Bangladesh for transition from its violent past to the peaceful future through judicial trials of atrocities committed during its liberation war in 1971. These international crimes trials, held under a domestic legislation, are uniquely distinct from international or hybrid international crimes trials. The book is a ground-breaking research work on the first ever such trials in the ICC era.
