From May 3, 1946 to Nov. 12, 1948, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East was held in Tokyo by 11 countries, including the United States, China, the UK and the Soviet Union, to try Japan's Class-A war criminals after World War II. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the start of the Tokyo Trial. Bennett believes the Tokyo Trial played a pivotal role in punishing Japan, the main Asian ally of Nazi Germany, for its aggression and atrocities committed during the World War II. "I think it's entirely reasonable that the victors of the Anti-Fascist War, whether in Europe or in Asia, should bring the perpetrators of the dreadful crimes that were committed to justice," Bennett said. Bennett said that the multinational participation in the Tokyo Trial made it an important manifestation of the international community's shared commitment to justice. "The involvement of different powers in the Tokyo trials [mean] lifted it above a bilateral issue between this or that country and Japan, but about international society and humanity as a whole. The crimes that Japan committed, they may have been committed in China or in Korea or in the Philippines and so on, but they were crimes against humanity," he said. Bennett said it is of great significance to have a proper understanding of the history of the World War II and prevent this tragedy from repeating itself. "Whether we're talking about the Tokyo trials in Asia or the Nuremberg trials in Europe, the point was to draw a line under some of the most brutal aggression and crimes against humanity that we've seen in all of history, really, and to ensure that these things should never happen again," he said. Yet, due to the leniency and protection of the U.S. occupation authorities, accountability for Japan's war crimes was never as thorough as the Nuremberg Trials of the Nazi leaders. Fourteen Class-A war criminals were even enshrined at Yasukuni Shrine, their ghosts lingering to this day. Until this day, some right-wing Japanese politicians still refuse to renounce Japan's militaristic past, and even question or deny the outcomes of the war. They continue to pay tribute to the notorious Yasukuni Shrine, revise high school history textbooks to downplay Japan's wartime atrocities, and deny the forced recruitment of "comfort women" by the Japanese military during WWII. During the deadliest military conflict in human history 80 years ago, more than 80 countries and regions, involving roughly 2 billion people, were drawn into the war. More than 100 million worldwide were killed or wounded, and global economic losses exceeded 4 trillion U.S. dollars. To resist fascist aggression, more than 50 countries, including China and the Soviet Union, formed a united front. As the main theater in the East during the World Anti-Fascist War, China paid a heavy price -- over 35 million casualties in its fight against the majority of Japanese militarist troops. Preserving the truth of history is the most meaningful tribute to the soldiers and civilians who perished during WWII. It is also a foundation for reconciliation between former belligerent nations. 　イギリスの国際関係の専門家であるキース・ベネット氏は、東京裁判は日本軍国主義による侵略犯罪に対する正義の裁きだとしたうえで、歴史を正しく認識し反ファシズム戦争の成果を守ることは、戦争の悲劇の再発防止に重要な意義を持っていると示した。 　今年は東京裁判開廷80周年に当たる。1946年5月3日から1948年11月12日にかけて、米国、中国、英国、ソ連など11か国の裁判官は、第二次世界大戦中の日本A級戦犯28人に対し国際大裁判を行った。 　東京裁判は日本が第二次世界大戦中にアジアで犯した侵略行為や残虐行為を裁くうえで、極めて重要な役割を果たしたと述べた。 　＜イギリス国際関係の専門家　キース・ベネット氏＞ 　「ヨーロッパ戦場であれアジア戦場であれ、反ファシズム戦争の勝利国は、恐ろしい犯罪の加害者を裁くのは、全く当然のことだと考えている」 　また、東京裁判に多くの国が参加したことは、国際社会が共同で正義を守ることを示していると付け加えた。 　＜イギリス国際関係の専門家　キース・ベネット氏＞ 　「多くの国が参加したことで、東京裁判は単に個別の国と日本という二国間の問題を超え、国際社会全体、ひいては人類全体に関わるものとなった。日本が犯した諸々の罪は、中国や朝鮮、フィリピンという国を問わず、いずれも人道に対する罪にほかならない」 　ベネット氏は、第二次世界大戦の歴史を正しく理解することが、同様の悲劇の再発防止につながると強調した。 　＜イギリス国際関係の専門家　キース・ベネット氏＞ 　「アジアにおける東京裁判と、欧州におけるニュルンベルク裁判の目的は、いずれも歴史上最も残虐な侵略行為や反人類犯罪に終止符を打つためだ」 English/Nats/Part Mute 英語/自然音声 London, UK - May 1, 2026 (CCTV - No access Chinese mainland) 1.
