The aim of this new collection of essays is to engage in analysis beyond the familiar victor’s justice critiques. The editors have drawn on authors from across the world — including Australia, Japan, China, France, Korea, New Zealand and the United Kingdom — with expertise in the fields of international humanitarian law, international criminal law, Japanese studies, modern Japanese history, and the use of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. The diverse backgrounds of the individual authors allow the editors to present essays which provide detailed and original analyses of the Tokyo Trial from legal, philosophical and historical perspectives. Several of the essays in the collection are based on the authors’ extensive archival research in Japan, Australia, the United States and New Zealand, providing rich insights into Japanese societal attitudes towards the Trial, biological experimentation by the Japanese Army in China, as well as the trial of Korean prison guards and prosecutions for rape and sexual assault in the post-war period. Some of the essays deal with particular participants in the Trial, examining the role of individual judges, and the selection of defendants and the decision not to prosecute the Emperor. Other essays analyse the Trial from a legal perspective, and address its impact on concepts such as command responsibility, conspiracy and war crimes. The majority of the essays seek to identify and address some of the ‘forgotten crimes’ in the Tokyo Trial. These include crimes committed in China and Korea (particularly the activities of the infamous Unit 731), crimes committed against comfort women, and crimes associated with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the conventional firebombing of other Japanese cities and the illicit drug trade in China. Finally, the collection includes a number of essays which consider the importance of studying the Tokyo Trial and its contemporary relevance. These issues include an examination of the way in which academics have ‘written’ the Trial over the last 60 years, and an analysis of some of the lessons that can be drawn for international trials in the future.

Les crimes de masse défient la réflexion morale. Ce sont les procès de ces crimes qui façonnent nos conceptions du mal extrême. Le procès Eichmann est en ce sens exemplaire. La description par Hannah Arendt d'un Adolf Eichmann insignifiant a imposé l'idée de la banalité du mal, du crime bureaucratique commis sans pensée ni méchanceté. Pourtant, ce portrait ne correspond pas à ceux des historiens ou des chroniqueurs. Il reprend la défense d'Eichmann et réactive le genre des théodicées, qui défendaient Dieu en niant l'existence du mal : si Eichmann ne pense pas, alors la pensée est sauve. Pour dépasser l'alternative stérile du diabolique et du banal, ce livre analyse la forme même du procès, en faisant de la chronique judiciaire un genre philosophique. Il éclaire ainsi l'influence du procès de Jérusalem sur l'évolution de la justice pénale internationale et sur la réflexion morale contemporaine.

In the spring of 1942, Nazi forces occupying the Ukraine launched a wave of executions targeting the region's remaining Jewish communities. These mass shootings were open, public, and intimate. Although the victims themselves could never testify against their killers, many eyewitnesses could and did identify the perpetrators.
