The Women’s International War Crimes Tribunal on the Trial of Japan’s Military Sexual Slavery in 2000 refers to an international peoples' tribunal held at Kudan Kaikan Hall in Tokyo, Japan from December 8~12, 2000, with a coalition of the Japanese Military 'Comfort Women' victims from Japan, Asia, and women's organizations around the world. The aim was to criticize the fact that the Japanese Military 'Comfort Women' issue was not properly addressed in the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE) organized by the Allied Powers to hold Japan responsible for war after World War II, and to punish those responsible by the power of victims and citizens from each of the affected Asian countries. After a three-day hearing, the court's panel issued a preliminary judgment convicting Emperor Hirohito, Tōjō Hideki, and nine other military and political leaders. Based on this, the final judgment in December 2001 in the Hague, Netherlands, convicted Emperor Hirohito, and recommended the Japanese government to investigate the truth, to apologize, to compensate the victims, and so on. Although it was not legally binding, the tribunal was of great significance as it brought the Japanese Military 'Comfort Women' issue to court through the international solidarity and established the need to punish violence against women during wartime from the perspective of women's human rights and peace.
