From War Crimes Investigator to War Crimes Jurist: Sir William Flood Webb KBE and his impact on international criminal law in the twentieth century

威廉·弗拉德·韦伯爵士（1887-1972）鲜为人知，但他是20世纪中叶澳大利亚最杰出的战争罪法学家。该项目是一项法律历史研究，通过韦伯作为战争罪调查员、顾问和法学家，特别是作为远东国际军事法庭庭长的角色，调查和审视他对国际刑法发展和变革的非凡影响。该项目将阐明对战争罪行的历史看法、采取的法律行动和为此建立的机构以及不仅在澳大利亚而且在国际上确立的司法和程序先例。

Sir William Flood Webb KBE (1887-1972) is little known but was Australia's most prominent jurist on war crimes in the mid-twentieth century. This project is a legal-historical study that investigates and examines Webb's extraordinary impact on the development and transformation of international criminal law through his roles as a war crimes investigator, consultant and jurist and, in particular, as President of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. The project will shed light on historical views of war crimes, the legal actions taken and institutions created in response and the judicial and procedural precedents that were established, not only within Australia but internationally.
