After the Second World War in Asia, the victorious Allies placed around 5,700 Japanese on trial for war crimes. Ostensibly crafted to bring perpetrators to justice, the trials intersected in complex ways with the great issues of the day. They were meant to finish off the business of World War Two and to consolidate United States hegemony over Japan in the Pacific, but they lost impetus as Japan morphed into an ally of the West in the Cold War. Embattled colonial powers used the trials to bolster their authority against nationalist revolutionaries, but they found the principles of international humanitarian law were sharply at odds with the inequalities embodied in colonialism. Within nationalist movements, local enmities often overshadowed the reckoning with Japan. And hovering over the trials was the critical question: just what was justice for the Japanese in a world where all sides had committed atrocities?World Histories of Crime, Culture and Violence,2730-9630Asia—HistoryLaw—HistoryWorld War, 1939-1945Crime—Sociological aspectsInternational criminal lawAsian Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715000Legal Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/726000History of World War II and the Holocausthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717110Crime and Societyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B3000International Criminal Law https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19040Asia—History.Law—History.World War, 1939-1945.Crime—Sociological aspects.International criminal law.Asian History.Legal History.History of World War II and the Holocaust.Crime and Society.International Criminal Law .950von Lingen Kerstinedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910149480903321War Crimes Trials in the Wake of Decolonization and Cold War in Asia, 1945-19561961500UNINA
