ABSTRACT

The International Military Tribunal (IMT) held in Nuremberg, and the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE) held in Tokyo, were meant to be, as their titles suggest, international in nature, and in both cases they included judges, investigators, and prosecutors from multiple nations (four in the German case and 11 in the Japanese case). Military, civilian, and economic leaders charged primarily with Crimes against Peace, but also including Crimes against Humanity and Conventional War Crimes, made up the list of defendants: 24 in the German case and 25 in the Japanese case.
