Overview
Aminah’s thesis explores the atrocities committed during Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971 and why such atrocities were not identified as a formal genocide by the international community. Despite various well documented scholastic, historical and journalistic views that a genocide in Bangladesh did indeed occur in 1971, the atrocities committed are yet to be put on an equal footing as that of Rwanda and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Further, as ample studies suggest, the actions implemented during the Liberation War should be universally recognised. While substantial research exists on how the events during the Liberation War form a genocide, there seems to be little research into why the events are not formally, nor internationally rendered as a genocide.
Aminah’s thesis is supervised by Dr Grietje Baars and Dr Jed Odermatt.
Aminah has also qualified as a barrister of England and Wales. Aminah currently works as a Lecturer at The University of Hertfordshire, heading modules in both the Law and Criminology departments, and a GTA at The City Law School.
