In discussing the promotion of international cooperation in Criminal Justice Administration in Bangladesh, this paper considers crime patterns in Bangladesh, the extradition of fugitives, international cooperation in combating drug syndicates and other transnational crimes, the management of foreign offenders and inmates, and the collection and exchange of information and data.

Abstract

Crimes in Bangladesh that have transnational patterns and implications are currency counterfeiting, terrorism, drug trafficking, and white-collar crime. The author recommends that the United Nations continue to devise strategies to assist member states in developing measures to counter organized crime. Bilateral and multilateral treaties designed to fight organized crime are also suggested. Further, countries should modify their domestic laws to comply with international concepts of effective strategies against organized crime; for example, rules of evidence should be changed in countries to allow the admissibility of evidence recorded in foreign countries. The United Nations could provide financial and technical assistance to developing countries facing crimes with transnational implications, such as the cultivation of illegal drug crops. Other recommendations are international cooperation in information exchange, regional conferences, the exchange of criminal justice experts between countries, and a modified extradition act on specific serious offenses.
