1946年5月-1948年11月举行的远东国际军事法庭审判（东京审判）是第二次世界大战结束后东亚秩序奠基石性质的事件。然而这段历史长期以来在国内缺乏关注和研究。开设本课程的初衷在于通过通识教育向不同专业的同学讲述东京审判这一重要事件，引导同学对东亚近现代史、战争责任、战争罪行以及当下国际关系（尤其是中日关系）等命题进行深入思考。课程讲授以严肃、客观的研究立场讲授二战以后同盟国对日审判构想以及东京审判长达两年半的各个审理阶段。同时介绍当前史学、法学和国际关系学不同专业领域有关研究的最新进展。通过在课堂上展示历史档案、图像、影片等多种形式，力求以更生动和具象的方式使同学能较快地进入和熟悉课程内容。目前课程已纳入交大思政通识课程体系。 The International Military Tribunal for the Far East (the Tokyo Trial), held in May 1946-November 1948, is one of the cornerstone of the East Asian order after the end of the Second World War. However, this event has not been paid enough attention and lack research for a long time. The purpose to open this course is to teach the basic history facts to the students of different majors and guide them to think deeply about the topics on war crimes, war responsibilities and Sino-Japan relationship. The course teaches the Allied power’s idea on the war crimes trial against Japan soon after World War II and the two-and-a-half-year trial of the Tokyo trial in a serious and objective research position. Students also can learn the latest developments in current research in different fields of history, law and international relations. Through displaying historical archives, images, films and other forms on the class, we try to enable students to learn in a more vivid and concrete way.
