It offers a comprehensive review of key events during this period, covering preparations for the Trial, examining the role of the War Crimes Commission of the United Nations as well as offering a new analysis of the trial itself. Addressing the question of conventional war crimes, crimes against humanity, crimes against peace (such as the Pearl Harbor Incident) and violations of warfare law, it follows up with a discussion of post-trial events and the fate of war criminals on trial. Additionally, it examines other Japanese war crime trials which happened in Asia, as well as considering the legacy of the Tokyo trial itself, and the foundation of a new Post-War International Order in East Asia.Japan—HistoryWorld politicsWar CrimesWorld historyChina—HistoryHistory of Japanhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715020Political Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080War Crimeshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B4020World History, Global and Transnational Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/719000History of Chinahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715010Japan—History.World politics.War Crimes.World history.China—History.History of Japan.Political History.War Crimes.World History, Global and Transnational History.History of China.952Cheng Zhaoqiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut984047BOOK9910483302103321A History of War Crimes Trials in Post 1945 Asia-Pacific2855564UNINA
