%X Dans son opinion dissidente au proc¨¨s de T ky  (le Tribunal militaire international pour l¡¯Extr¨ºme-Orient), le juge indien Radhabinhod Pal avait contest¨¦ le bien-fond¨¦ des notions de   crime contre la paix   et de   crimes contre l¡¯humanit¨¦   ¨¦labor¨¦es par la Charte du tribunal qui furent utilis¨¦es pour condamner les hauts responsables japonais comme   criminels de guerre de classe A  . Consid¨¦rant que ces notions rel¨¨vent d¡¯une l¨¦gislation ex post facto, il estima qu¡¯il e t ¨¦t¨¦ pr¨¦f¨¦rable de s¡¯en tenir ¨¤ la notion existante de   crimes de guerre  . Faute de quoi, au lieu de servir la justice, le proc¨¨s de Tokyo cautionna selon lui l¡¯id¨¦e qu¡¯il suffirait de sortir vainqueur d¡¯un conflit arm¨¦ pour pouvoir imposer la loi de mani¨¨re arbitraire. Au Japon, cette opinion se vit peu ¨¤ peu durcie, puis d¨¦tourn¨¦e de sa vis¨¦e initiale, par un courant de plus en plus outrageusement r¨¦visionniste. Cet article r¨¦examine les points essentiels de l¡¯argumentation de Pal avant d¡¯analyser la fa on dont les r¨¦visionnistes japonais s¡¯en sont empar¨¦e. In his dissenting judgment in the Tokyo trial (the International Military Tribunal for the Far East), the Indian judge Radhabinhod Pal had challenged the validity of the concepts of "crime against peace" and "crime against humanity" developed by the Charter of the court and which were used to condemn the Japanese officials as "war criminals category A". Whereas these concepts are subject to ex post facto legislation, he felt it was better to stick to the existing concept of "war crimes". Failing that, instead of justice, the trial of Tokyo according to endorse the idea that it was enough to win an armed conflict to impose the law in an arbitrary manner. In Japan, this opinion is gradually tightened, then diverted from its original purpose, by a stream of more and more outrageously revisionist. This article reviews the essential points of the argument of Pal before analyzing how the Japanese attacked revisionists seized.
