An overview of the photo exhibition

A photo exhibition titled Justice and Peace for All Humanity was held at the UN headquarters in New York City, the United States, on October 26-30 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Tokyo Trial.

The International Military Tribunal for the Far East, also known as the Tokyo Trial, was convened in Tokyo from 1946 to 1948. It tried 28 Japanese Class A World War II war crime suspects and convicted 25.

Featuring nearly 70 historical photographs, supplemented by archival documents and books, the exhibition presented the historical facts of the Tokyo Trial.

The exhibition was organized by the Permanent Mission of China to the UN and hosted by the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders and the China Intercontinental Communication Center. It continues to be exhibited this November at the Consulate General of China in New York City. BR
