>>1119The Tokyo Trials and the Truth of “Pal’s Judgment”:
http://www.sdh-fact.com/CL02_1/63_S4.pdf>Radhabinod Pal was one of the judges at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (the “Tokyo Trials”) held in Japan in 1946 to judge those Japanese officials and officers charged by the Allies as Class-A War Criminals. Pal, unlike his colleagues on the bench, was a specialist in international law. Unlike his colleagues, Pal questioned the very legitimacy of the trial itself, and found himself forced to conclude, “I would hold that each and everyone of the accused must be found not guilty of each and everyone of the charges in the indictment and should be acquitted of all those charges.”
>Prof. Watanabe eloquently demonstrates the truth of Pal’s observation and the rightness of his position in his book The Toyo Trials and the Truth of “Pal’s Judgment.”The Tokyo Trials: The Unheard Defense:
http://www.sdh-fact.com/CL02_1/66_S4.pdf>This book consist of excerpts from a body of documents compiled published under the title Defense Evidence Rejected by the Tokyo Trials, which encompasses eight volumes and 5,500 pages. The fact that such enormous volume of evidence were rejected itself would show the true nature of the Tokyo Trials. As an introduction, Dr. Kobori summarizes legal basis for the Tokyo Trials, how the trial progressed and how evidence was treated there. Behind The Comfort Women Controversy: How Lies Became Truth:
http://www.sdh-fact.com/CL02_1/39_S4.pdf>The comfort women controversy erupted in the 1990s when Japanese military authorities were accused of having abducted or otherwise coerced women into becoming “sex slaves.” Since then, a great deal of research has been done on the subject, all of which indicates that the accusations are false.
>But the flames of the controversy were reignited, this time in the United States. July 30, 2007 marks an inexplicable event: approval of a U.S. House of Representatives resolution condemning Japan.
>Who is behind these malicious campaigns, and what motivates them? And exactly what is at the heart of the comfort women controversy?
>The truth is at hand, thanks to Japan-Korea relations specialist Nishioka Tsutomu, who has struggled with this controversy since its inception, and who answers these questions, once and for all. A New Look at the Annexation of Korea:
http://www.sdh-fact.com/CL02_1/89_S4.pdf>Every year at this season, the Korean government demands that Japan apologize for her annexation of Korea. This year South Korea breached propriety with President Lee Myung-bak's demand for an apology from the Japanese Emperor himself.
>However, if one looks at the historical facts regarding the annexation of Korea, one will be puzzled as to why the Korean government makes such a demand.
>For example, the total budget of the Korean government for 1911 was 3.6 million yen, of which 1.3 million yen consisted of tax revenue from the Korean people. Obviously, the balance was supplemented by the Japanese. In other words, the Korean government was on the verge of bankruptcy. The truth was that Japan saved Korea from a financial crisis. Furthermore, Japanese financial assistance continued up to 1939, when the Japanese supplemented 25% of the total budge.
>This book is filled with previously neglected historical facts, photos and figures. As far as Japanese nationalist & fascist philosophy is concerned, I doubt you will have much luck finding fully translated books in English. The best you can probably do on that front is glean summaries from critical historians of the Japanese WWII period… or just learn the damn the language if you have the time, the ability and the will-power to do that.
