Part I contains contextual essays explaining why Australia established military courts to conduct these trials and thematic essays considering various legal issues in, and historical perspectives on, the trials. Part II offers a comprehensive collection of eight location essays, one each for the physical locations where the trials were held. In Part III post-trial issues are reviewed, such as the operation of compounds for war criminals; the repatriation of convicted Japanese war criminals to serve the remainder of their sentences; and reflections of some of those convicted on their experience of the trials. In the final essay, a contemporary reflection on the fairness of the trials is provided, not on the basis of a twenty-first century critique of contemporary minimum standards of fair trial expected in the prosecution of war crimes, but by reviewing approaches taken in the trials themselves as well as from reactions to the trials by those associated with them. The essays are supported by a large collection of unique historical photographs, maps and statistical materials. There has been no systematic and comprehensive analysis of these trials so far, which has meant that they are virtually precluded from consideration as judicial precedent. This volume fills that gap, and offers scholars and practitioners an important and groundbreaking resource. 410 0$aInternational Humanitarian Law Series$v48. 606 $aWar crime trials$zAustralia 606 $aWar criminals$zJapan 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xLaw and legislation$zAustralia 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xAtrocities$zPacific Area 606 $aWar crime trials$2fast 606 $aWar criminals$2fast 607 $aAustralia$2fast 607 $aJapan$2fast 607 $aPacific Area$2fast 615 0$aWar crime trials 615 0$aWar criminals 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xAtrocities 615 7$aWar crime trials. 615 7$aWar criminals. 676 $a341.690994 700 $aFitzpatrick$b Georgina$c(Historian)$01656608 701 $aMcCormack$b Timothy L.
