Virginia, US: United States-based organization Genocide Watch has recognized crimes committed by the Pakistani military forces against the Bengali population in Bangladesh in 1971 as 'genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes'.

The organization has called upon the UN General Assembly to adopt a resolution recognising the 1971 Genocide in Bangladesh.

The organization also urged the member states of the United Nations, especially the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, to recognize the crimes committed by Pakistani Military Forces in Bangladesh in 1971 as genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.

"Requests proper reparations for these crimes from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to the People's Republic of Bangladesh," the organization said in a statement.
