Judgment
International Military Tribunal for the Far East

This typewritten text is bound in 4 volumes (3 text, 1 for Annexes). The divisions between the 3 text volumes appear to be arbitrary -- breaking into 3 approximately equal parts, without reference to chapter or section breaks. Page numbering is consecutive throughout.

I have opted to ignore the volume divisions, and create a Table of Contents based on the Part, Chapter, and Section divisions found within the text...

As the original is a typescript (or mimeographed) copy, I have taken the liberty of making modest formatting additions for the sake of readability (indenting lengthy quotations, rather than simply quoting them; adding commas where necessary for intelligibility; etc. [HyperWar]
