远东国际军事法庭判决书
作者： 阮一峰
日期： 2007年11月 2日
今天，我非常震惊地发现，1946年《远东国际军事法庭判决书》（International
Military Tribunal for the Far East Judgment）网上居然有英语全文，那可是1500
页的文件啊。
我从不知道，这么重要的第二次世界大战的文件，网上居然可以轻易找到！国内媒体好
像从来没有宣传过这件事。我查了国家图书馆的数据库，发现这个文件很可能没有出版
过中译本。我不知道台湾是否出过中译本，当年南京政府应该有中文版的。
我对这个事情很不理解。
这是第一手的历史原件，历史价值就不用说了，对于爱国主义教育和揭露日本军国主义
的罪行，都有巨大的价值。可是，为什么大家都不知道呢？这是公共领域的材料，没有

2013-01-12 16:43 新聞速報 【中廣新聞／葉柏毅】
日本首相「安倍晉三」，日前高調批評中國，引發外界側目。日本媒體分析，安倍
之所以會對中國擺高姿態，是因為他已經穩固了日韓與美日關係。安倍相信，一旦日美
韓三國聯手，就有對中國強硬的本錢。
在安倍政府上台之後，中國繼續派飛機與船，接近釣魚台領海領空，但安倍一方面
先派特使訪韓，另一方面又準備訪美，與他第一任首相先訪中國大陸的安排，相當不同
。有外交人士就分析說，在安倍的外交佈局之下，對中國強硬表態的條件，越來越完備。

《环球时报》8月21日刊登题为“李显龙：中国或得到钓鱼岛 但会输掉世界地位”的报

文告以严厉的措辞说：“这个报道以耸动的标题，将李总理的谈话完全脱离语境加以处
