Description

Neil Boister and Robert Cryer, The Tokyo International Military Tribunal: A Reappraisal (Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2008), ISBN 978-0-19-927852-7, 358 Pages Despite the explosion of scholarly interest in international criminal justice over the past two decades, there has long been relative inattention to its institutional roots in the Asia-Pacific region. In this important new book, Neil Boister and Robert Cryer revisit the work and legacy of the Tokyo International Military Tribunal ('Tokyo Tribunal'). In reappraising its jurisprudence and historical significance, they do not set out to self-consciously rehabilitate the Tokyo Tribunal by putting a positive spin on it or by wholesale rejection of charges that it was an instrument of 'victors' justice'. Rather, they seek to remedy the dearth of scholarship on the Tokyo Tribunal (1) (compared to its Nuremberg cousin and later ad hoc international criminal tribunals) by finely reassessing its contribution and relevance to international law.
