- Charges
- Participating, aiding and abetting of the Japanese army’s so called “comfort system”. This allegedly state-sanctioned system included mass sexual slavery and sexual violence/torture of hundreds of thousands of women and girls captured in occupied territories.
- Trial chamber verdict
- The Tribunal found that due to its widespread and organised structure, the “comfort system” was facilitating rape and sexual slavery of tens of thousands of girls and women and essentially qualified as state-sanctioned system of rape and enslavement. The Trial furthermore concluded that all elements of a crime against humanity had been fulfilled.The Tribunal found all nine high-ranking military and government officials, as well as Emperor Hirohito, guilty of rape and sexual slavery as crimes against humanity. Emperor Hirohito was also found guilty by way of his superior responsibility for mass rape committed at a Filipino village. The Tribunal furthermore found the Japanese government responsible for the harm inflicted by the “comfort system”.

- All accused were already dead by the time the trial was held.
- Status
- 2715
- Case number
- PT-2000-1-T
- Reparations / awards
- The Tribunal emphasised that while it has no power to enforce its judgment and consequently reparations and compensations, it does have moral authority, which should be enough to ensure enforcement by the national governments and the international community (paras. 1086-1088).
