Australia's Post World War II War Crimes Trials of Japanese Defendants

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。一组几乎不为人所知的审判是由澳大利亚军事法庭进行的--其主要来源很容易获得(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个不同的审判中对814名日本被告进行了审判，但从来没有系统地研究过这一章的澳大利亚法律和军事历史。该项目旨在提供对试验的第一次研究，并将为未来的研究人员“释放”未得到充分利用但巨大的文献资源。

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.
