Abstract
After the World War II, it is the first time for human beings to establish the International Military Tribunal above the national sovereign, to trial the countries’ leaders who waged the aggressive wars and solemnly declare the aggressive wars and the illegal acts in the wars as international crimes. The Tokyo trial resorts to the international criminal justice for the pursuit of the permanent peace of human beings, which reflects the ration, civilization and progress of human society. As the President Webb declared at the beginning of the trial, there is no more important criminal trial in the whole history.
