Judge Pal with Jefferson Davis in Tokyo

Description

International judges get so very few monuments in their honor. One such judge, however, has two. This judge is Radhabinod Pal, from India. Justice Pal sat on the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE). Following World War II, General Douglas MacArthur convened the IMTFE to prosecute the Japanese leadership. The IMTFE issued its sentences in November 1948. It convicted 25 defendants.
