Radhabinod Pal was an Indian jurist and judge who served on the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, commonly known as the Tokyo Trials, where he became known for his dissenting opinion against the majority verdicts that condemned Japanese leaders for war crimes. Pal argued that the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki should also be viewed as war crimes, drawing parallels to the atrocities committed by the Nazis. His views challenged the prevailing narratives of the time and underscored the complexities of wartime morality and justice.
