Bangladesh became a sovereign state in 1971, after an armed conflict between East Pakistan and India against West Pakistan. The war resulted in the secession of East Pakistan, which became Bangladesh. Gross violations of human rights were committed by the Pakistani army and its Bangladeshi collaborators, with the Bangladeshi government estimating that three million people were killed.
