| Justice Radha Binod Pal provided a dissenting judgement in the International Military Tribunal for the Far East's trials of Japanese war crimes committed during the second world war. While finding that 'the evidence is still overwhelming that atrocities were perpetrated by the members of the Japanese armed forces against the civilian population of some of the territories occupied by them as also against the prisoners of war', he produced a judgement questioning the legitimacy of the tribunal and its rulings. He concluded: "I would hold that each and every one of the accused must be found not guilty of each and every one of the charges in the indictment and should be acquitted on all those charges."
