It was an international civil tribunal held from December 8 to 12, 2000, at the Kudan Kaikan in Tokyo, Japan. It was organized in solidarity with Japan and other Asian countries affected by the Japanese Military “Comfort Women” system, as well as global women’s organizations. The tribunal was convened to criticize the fact that the Japanese Military “Comfort Women” issue was not properly addressed by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE), which was held by the Allied powers after World War II to hold Japan accountable for its wartime actions. Additionally, it sought to hold those responsible accountable through the collective efforts of victims and citizens from across Asia. After three days of hearings, the tribunal’s panel of judges issued a preliminary verdict, finding Emperor Shōwa and nine other military and political leaders, including Hideki Tojo, guilty. This preliminary verdict laid the foundation for the final judgment delivered in December 2001 in The Hague, Netherlands, where Emperor Shōwa was found guilty. The final judgment urged the Japanese government to uncover the truth, formally apologize, and compensate the victims. Although the tribunal lacked legal enforcement power, its significance lies in its role in bringing the Japanese Military “Comfort Women” issue to the court through international solidarity and collective citizen efforts and in establishing the need to condemn wartime violence against women from the perspective of women’s rights and peace.
