When the two first international tribunals at Nuremberg and Tokyo were opened in 1945 and 1946 respectively, the public hailed them as legal milestones. However, problems in the court room as well as political tensions due to the emerging Cold War (as reflected in the London Conference of August 1945, which set the frame for Nuremberg) soon made it visible that judging war criminals in international courts was not an easy task for the former Allies, especially in Asia.
We will focus not only on the International Military Tribunals at Tokyo, but also analyze selected cases of war crimes trials in Asia (for example on forced labour as a war crime/the Burma Siam railway, on crimes against women for sexual slavery/ "comfort women" issue, and on crimes against Allied Prisoners of War/ ‘Death marches). In conclusion, we will analyze films dealing with war crimes in Asia.
