About This Lesson
This lesson traces the historical development and emergence of international human rights law following the Second World War, and focuses on the significance of one particular development in international law: 1) the prosecution of “Crimes against Peace,” which meant the beginning of an international prohibition against Aggressive War (instead of just its prevention) before the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, or the Tokyo Trials and 2) the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
The material uses/references World War II history in Asia as content. (Developed for ALPHA Education, Toronto, Canada)
