Don't know much about the history of this, but it seems like there were substantial war crimes tribunals in Japan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_war_crimes#War_crime_trials https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_war_crimes#War_crime_.... Almost a thousand executed, and thousands more given some prison time, including some very high ranking generals and politicians.
- soperj 6y agoInteresting! Thanks! I knew specifically about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731 not getting tried by the Americans, didn't know the rest.
- burkaman 6y agoI see, yeah it's not surprising there were exceptions. Obviously agree with your larger point that winners tend not to subject themselves to tribunals.
