Advocates of the Nuremberg legacy emphasize the positive impact
of the individualization of responsibility and the establishment of
an historical record through judicial procedures for war crimes .
This legacy has been cited in the context of the establishment and
operation of the UN ad hoc International Criminal Tribunals in the
1990s, as well as for the International Criminal Court.
The problem with this legacy, however, is that it is based
solely on the experience of West Germany. Furthermore, the effect
of the procedure on post-conflict society has not been empirically
examined. This book does this by analyzing the Tokyo Trial, the
other International Military Tribunal established after the Second
World War, and its impact on post-war Japan. Madoka Futamura
examines the short- and long-term impact of the International
Military Tribunal for the Far East (the Tokyo Trial), on post-war
Japan, in order to improve the understanding of and strategy for
ongoing international war crimes tribunals.
War Crimes Tribunals and Transitional Justice will be of much
interest to students of war crimes, international law, transitional
justice and international relations in general.
