Australia's Post World War II War Trials: A systemic and comprehensive Law Reports series

This project will redress the remarkable lack of comprehensive and systematic analysis of Australia's 310 trials of more than 800 Japanese defendants by military tribunal post-World War II pursuant to the War Crimes Act 1945. In partnership with the Australian War Memorial and Defence Legal this project will result in a scholarly Law Reports Series of every trial in its historical context. The publication of the Series will facilitate unprecedented access to an important and relatively under-researched phase in Australia's military legal history.
