Experts urge upholding Tokyo Trials' outcomes

Verdict key to Japan's return to global community after its atrocities in WWII

Experts from home and abroad emphasized the crucial importance of upholding the outcomes of the Tokyo Trials, which they argued are deeply intertwined with current international political realities, Japan's future trajectory, and the peace and stability of Asia and the rest of the world.

Although the Japanese government has not formally dismissed the Tokyo Trials, experts warned about the growing sentiment in Japan that seeks to negate their significance. They made the remarks during an international symposium held in Shanghai on Thursday to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the Commencement of the Tokyo Trials.
