Australia's Post World War II War Crimes Trials of Japanese Defendants. Contemporary war crimes trials regularly refer to historical precedent - particularly post-WWII war crimes trials. One virtually unknown group of trials were those conducted by Australian Military Tribunals - the primary sources for which are readily available (Australian War Memorial and National Archives) but under-studied. Australian Tribunals sat in judgment over 814 Japanese Defendants in 296 separate trials and yet there has never been a systematic study of this chapter of Australian Legal and Military History. This project is intended to provide the first study of the trials and will also "unlock" the under-utilised but vast documentary resource for future researchers.

澳大利亚二战后对日本被告的战争罪审判。当代战争罪审判经常参考历史先例，特别是二战后的战争罪审判。一组几乎不为人知的审判是由澳大利亚军事法庭进行的审判-其主要资料来源是现成的（澳大利亚战争纪念馆和国家档案馆），但研究不足。澳大利亚法庭在296个独立的审判中对814名日本被告进行了审判，但从未对澳大利亚法律的和军事史的这一章进行过系统的研究。该项目旨在提供试验的第一项研究，并将为未来的研究人员“解锁”未充分利用但巨大的文献资源。
