The Women’s International War Crimes Tribunal on Japanese Military Sexual Slavery was a private People’s Tribunal held at the Kudan Kaikan Hall in Tokyo, Japan, from December 8 to 12, 2000, in solidarity with countries across Asia victimized by the Japanese Military “Comfort Women” system and with women’s organizations worldwide. The tribunal criticized the failure of the Allied-led International Military Tribunal for the Far East to adequately address the issue after World War II and sought to hold perpetrators accountable through the collective efforts of victims and citizens across Asia. After three days of hearings, the panel of judges issued a preliminary verdict convicting nine military and political leaders, including Emperor Hirohito and Prime Minister Hideki Tojo. Building on this, in December 2001, the tribunal delivered a final judgment in The Hague, Netherlands, convicting Emperor Hirohito and recommending that the Japanese government investigate the truth, issue an official apology, and provide reparations to victims. Although the tribunal lacked binding legal authority, it carried profound significance in that it brought the issue of Japanese Military “Comfort Women” to court through international solidarity and citizen power and established the necessity of condemning wartime violence against women from the perspective of women’s rights and peace.
