Tokyo Trial's Legacy on International Law Examined

CNR Voice of China Tokyo 9d9d Impact 9

A Singaporean scholar, Lin Xiaoping, stated that the Tokyo Trial was a judgment for prosecuting crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. It questioned how people today should defend the bottom line of just verdicts against renewed distortion of history by Japanese right-wing elements. The trial established new charges and put international law principles into judicial practice, with aggression crimes now formally written into the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The Paris Convention of 1928, signed by the vast majority of countries, made aggressive war illegal and a consensus of the international community. The trial resulted in 16 death sentences, 16 life sentences, and 2 fixed-term sentences, ultimately delivering justice.

The Paris Convention of 1928, signed by the vast majority of countries, made aggressive war illegal and a consensus of the international community. The trial resulted in 16 death sentences, 16 life sentences, and 2 fixed-term sentences, ultimately delivering justice. Chief Prosecutor Xiang Zhejun led the Chinese prosecution, submitting 99 pieces of evidence on Japanese atrocities in China, including the Nanjing Massacre and indiscriminate bombings. Historically, the Paris Convention on Aircraft of 1928, signed by most countries, already made wars of aggression illegal. Many insightful individuals, media outlets, and civic groups continue to criticize intentional distortion and collect war history records to disseminate the truth. The spiritual legacy of figures like Merleau-Ponty and Xiang Zhejun is passed down through generations in China. During two years of interrogation, Xiang Zhejun led the Chinese Procuratorate in overcoming immense difficulties to collect evidence from home and abroad, submitting 99 core pieces of evidence of Japanese war crimes in China, including the Nanjing Massacre, indiscriminate bombing, and abuse of prisoners of war. It also addressed how contemporary society should uphold the principles of justice against historical revisionism.
