与纽伦堡审判相对应的东方审判--东京战犯审判（1946-1948年）是日本现代历史上的一个分水岭。它为日本人民提供了一个独特的机会，以审查日本武装部队在亚太战争（1931-1945年）期间所犯侵略战争和暴行的大量口头和书面证据。在这方面，这次审判标志着日本对抗战争罪行的一个重要起点，这一进程一直持续到今天。东京审判在国际法领域也具有特殊意义。法庭作出了一项具有里程碑意义的判决，不仅确定了军事指挥官的个人刑事责任，而且确定了国家领导人对战争罪的个人刑事责任。东京法庭重申了纽伦堡的先例，从而结束了高级政府官员历来享有的豁免权，并为建立国际人道主义法的基础作出了贡献。

The eastern counterpart of the Nuremberg Trials, the Tokyo War Crimes Trial (1946–1948) was a watershed moment in the history of modern Japan. It presented the Japanese people with a unique opportunity to examine voluminous oral and documentary evidence of the war of aggression and atrocities that were committed by the Japanese armed forces during the Asia-Pacific War (1931–1945). This trial, in this respect, marked a crucial starting point of the Japanese confrontation with war guilt, a process that continues to this day. The Tokyo Trial carries special significance also in the field of international law. The Tribunal delivered a landmark judgment that determined individual criminal responsibility not only of military commanders but also of state leaders for war crimes. Confirming the Nuremberg precedents, the Tokyo Tribunal thus put an end to the immunity that high-ranking government officials had historically enjoyed and contributed to building the foundation of international humanitarian law.
