“Justice and Peace for All Humanity—Photo Exhibition
Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the Opening of the Tokyo Trial” opened at
United Nations Headquarters in New York. Speakers included Ambassador Fu Cong,
Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations; Qi Dahai, Director-General
of the Department of Treaty and Law of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Zhou
Feng, Director of the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese
Invaders; the Director-General of the Legal Department of the Russian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs; and the Deputy Permanent Representative of the Democratic
People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) to the United Nations. The Permanent
Representatives of Spain, Nicaragua and other countries attended the ceremony.
Hosted by the Permanent Mission of the People’s Republic of China to the United
Nations, the exhibition was organized by the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing
Massacre by Japanese Invaders and China Intercontinental Communication Center,
with support from Zhejiang Provincial Association for International Cultural
Exchange. It marked the first display at UN Headquarters of numerous rare historical
photographs and archival documents on the Tokyo Trial. By fully presenting the
historical truth of the trial, it called on the international community to jointly protect
historical truth, safeguard the outcomes of victory in World War II and uphold the
postwar international order.

Speakers from China, Russia and the DPRK said the Tokyo Trial embodied
humanity’s aspiration to safeguard peace through the rule of law. With rigorous
procedures and solid evidence, it delivered a just judgment on Japan’s crimes of
aggression. Revisiting the trial 80 years later means drawing lessons from history and
remembering the suffering of war. It also means working together to prevent and stop
“neo-militarism” from gathering strength and causing harm, and to guard against and
resist the resurgence of forces of aggression.

The exhibition also displayed the English edition of Transcripts of the Proceedings of
the International Military Tribunal for the Far East and its complete Chinese
translation. The 15 themed pictorial seals, carved in stone, embodied the values of
peace, justice and the rule of law. Many visitors stopped to take photos and make
souvenir seal impressions.
