It questioned how people today should defend the bottom line of just verdicts against renewed distortion of history by Japanese right-wing elements.

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.
