| 1963.12.7 | TOKYO COURT RULES ’45 A-BOMBS ILLEGAL ［東京地裁、原爆投下は国際法違反との判決を下す。］ TOKYO Saturday, Dec. 7 (AP) – A Japanese civil court declared today the United States violated international law by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August, 1945, just before the end of World War Ⅱ. The opinion by Judge Toshimasa Kozeki of Tokyo District civil court, on Pearl Harbor day, was in the case of five atomic bomb victims who sued the Japanese Government for $555 to $833 compensation each for their injuries. The court turned down their suit, ruling that neither national nor international law gave individuals the right to claim war compensations from the state. The legal declaration condemning the atomic bombings was the first of its kind in Japan. Prof. Kaoru Yasui of Hosei University, director of the Japan Council against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs, said the ruling had a “profounded significance and constituted a great encouragement to the ban-the-bomb movement in the world.” He said he regretted the court did not recognize the survivors’ claims. |
