东京审判

Ladies and Gentlemen, honorable judges and members of the court, 
All of the accused joined in a formulation and execution of a plan, a conspiracy whose purpose was to establish Japan's military, political and economic control over the countries within the Pacific and Indian Oceans. In order to achieve this goal, Japan alone or working with other countries of like mind, embarked on a war of aggression, to subjugate all who stood in their way. 

My prosecution team and I have produced more than enough evidence to prove the participation of the accused in these criminal actions. 
Throughout the history of civilization, no one has ever seen human nature at such a peak of cruelty and barbarity. Countless people have died horrendous, unthinkable deaths to feed Japan's insatiable appetite for expansion. By their actions, they have challenged human civilization, they have challenged peace and they have challenged the whole world. Their common objective, a criminal objective, was to ensure the domination of Japan's Empire. 

There is no greater crime than plotting and executing a war of aggression. The security of the world and its people was threatened by this plot and destroyed by this war, the only possible outcome of which is the great suffering the world has faced. 

Therefore, I, Joseph Keanan, on behalf of my colleagues in the ally prosecution team, solemnly request the honorable judges of the International Military Tribunal for the Far-east to severely punish those responsible for this horrible war of aggression in the name of justice, in the spirit of compassion and in the name of humanity!

女士们、先生们、尊敬的庭上、尊敬的各同盟国法官： 
全体被告，参与了这一共同计划的拟定或执行，这一共同计划的目的，是为了日本取得对太平洋及印度洋地区国家的军事、政治、经济的控制地位。为了达到这个目的，日本单独或是与其他具有同样目的的国家发动侵略战争，以对付反对此侵略目的的国家。我以及我们检查团的全体同仁，用我们的努力和证据，证明了上述目的的阴谋及罪行都是确有其事。纵观人类文明史，其手段之残忍、残酷、灭绝人性，实属罕见。无数的生命痛苦的消失在日本侵略野心的枪口和刀口下，他们的这种行为，是对人类文明的挑战，是对和平的挑战，是对世界的挑战。他们共同的犯罪目的，是为了确保天皇的统治地位，没有比发动和实行侵略战争更加严重的罪行，全世界人民的安全被这种阴谋所威胁，被这场战争所破坏，这个阴谋的唯一结果就是使全世界遭受死亡和痛苦。所以，我，约瑟夫季南，代表同盟国检察团全体同仁，郑重向远东国际军事法庭庭长及各位法官提请，请你们给这些发动并实行侵略战争的被告们以严惩，请你们以公正之心，以善良之名，以人类之愿！
