Beyond Victor's Justice? The Tokyo War Crimes Trial Revisited
Author: Yuki Tanaka
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004215913
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
The aim of this new collection of essays is to engage in analysis beyond the familiar victor’s justice critiques. The editors have drawn on authors from across the world — including Australia, Japan, China, France, Korea, New Zealand and the United Kingdom — with expertise in the fields of international humanitarian law, international criminal law, Japanese studies, modern Japanese history, and the use of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. The diverse backgrounds of the individual authors allow the editors to present essays which provide detailed and original analyses of the Tokyo Trial from legal, philosophical and historical perspectives. Several of the essays in the collection are based on the authors’ extensive archival research in Japan, Australia, the United States and New Zealand, providing rich insights into Japanese societal attitudes towards the Trial, biological experimentation by the Japanese Army in China, as well as the trial of Korean prison guards and prosecutions for rape and sexual assault in the post-war period. Some of the essays deal with particular participants in the Trial, examining the role of individual judges, and the selection of defendants and the decision not to prosecute the Emperor. Other essays analyse the Trial from a legal perspective, and address its impact on concepts such as command responsibility, conspiracy and war crimes. The majority of the essays seek to identify and address some of the ‘forgotten crimes’ in the Tokyo Trial. These include crimes committed in China and Korea (particularly the activities of the infamous Unit 731), crimes committed against comfort women, and crimes associated with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the conventional firebombing of other Japanese cities and the illicit drug trade in China. Finally, the collection includes a number of essays which consider the importance of studying the Tokyo Trial and its contemporary relevance. These issues include an examination of the way in which academics have ‘written’ the Trial over the last 60 years, and an analysis of some of the lessons that can be drawn for international trials in the future.

Vicious
Author: V. E. Schwab
Publisher: Tor Books
ISBN: 1466822171
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
V. E. Schwab's New York Times bestseller Vicious is a masterful tale of ambition, jealousy, desire, and superpowers. Victor and Eli started out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong. Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl whose reserved nature obscures a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find—aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the archnemeses have set a course for revenge—but who will be left alive at the end? In Vicious, V. E. Schwab brings to life a gritty comic-book-style world in vivid prose: a world where gaining superpowers doesn't automatically lead to heroism, and a time when allegiances are called into question. "A dynamic and original twist on what it means to be a hero and a villain. A killer from page one...highly recommended!" —Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Marvel Universe vs The Avengers and Patient Zero One of Publishers Weekly's Best Fantasy Books of 2013 At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book Description
“Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html The destruction of the Church, together with the betrayal of Metropolitan Sergius, also blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, which, according to the infallible word of Christ, will never be forgiven in this life or in the life to come. "He that gathereth not with me, saith the Lord, he scattereth." "Either acknowledge the tree as good (the Church) and its fruit as good, or acknowledge the tree as bad and its fruit as bad" (Matt. 12:33). "Therefore I say unto you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men ”(Matt. 12:31). "By fulfilling the measure of his sin," Metropolitan Sergius, together with his Synod, with the Decree of October 8 (21), 1927, introduced a new formula of commemoration. Mixing in one in the great and most holy sacrament of the Eucharist, in spite of God's word, "the faithful with the unbelievers" (2 Cor. 6: 14-18), the Holy Church and the enemies fighting to the death, the metropolitan with this blasphemy violates the prayerful meaning of the great sacrament and destroys its gracious significance for the eternal salvation of the souls of Orthodox believers. Hence the worship becomes not only ungrateful, due to the ungratefulness of the priest, but it also becomes an abomination in the eyes of God, and therefore both the performer and the participant in it are subject to categorical condemnation. Manifesting in his entire activity as an anti-church heretic, turning the Holy Orthodox Church from a home of the gracious salvation of believers into a gracious carnal organization deprived of the spirit of life, Metropolitan Sergius at the same time through his conscious denial of the truth and his insane betrayal of Christ is an apostate from God's Truth. Even without an external formal judgment of the Church (which cannot be produced over him), he is "self-condemned" (Titus 3: 10-11); he ceased to be what he was, a "servant of the Truth," according to the word, "Let his habitation be desolate ... let another take his dignity" (Acts 1:20). A number of exhortations of archpastors, God-wise fathers and Orthodox men of the Church for many years did not bring any benefit, did not bring Metropolitan Sergius to the realization of his sin and did not arouse repentance in his heart. Therefore, by the grace given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ, "by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Cor. 5: 4) we declare the former Metropolitan Sergius deprived of prayerful communion with us and with all who are faithful to Christ and His world. Orthodox Church and we hand it over to God's judgment: "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," says the Lord "(Heb. 10:30). The present act, in addition to those previously committed by us in 1927-28. statements, we make in strict consciousness of our archpastoral duty to our flock, all the faithful children of the Orthodox Church, standing in obedience to the Church of Christ, in due obedience to the rules of the Ecumenical Councils and the Council of the Russian Church of 1917-18, headed now by the Patriarchal Guardian Peter, Metropolitan Krutitsky, and his deputy Seraphim, Archbishop of Uglich. Fear not, little flock! For it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom ”(Luke 12:32). The humble Bishop Victor.
