Conclusion
The Dutch convened military tribunals, and prosecuted those responsible for war crimes during the occupation of the Netherlands East Indies, for one reason: To punish those who had murdered, tortured, and otherwise brutally mistreated the Dutch, Eurasian, Chinese, Indian, Malay, and Indonesian citizens of the colony.

Trials for the Mistreatment of Civilians and Prisoners of War and Civilian Internees
This chapter looks at representative cases involving the mistreatment of prisoners of war and civilian internees by Japanese camp personnel, as well as noninterned civilians who were mistreated while being interrogated by the Japanese police authorities.

Military Trials of War Criminals in the Netherlands East Indies 1946-1949
From 1946 to 1949, the Dutch prosecuted more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers and civilians for war crimes committed during the occupation of the Netherlands East Indies during World War II. They also prosecuted a small number of Dutch citizens for collaborating with their Japanese occupiers. The war crimes committed by the Japanese against military personnel and civilians in the East Indies included mass murder, murder, torture, mistreatment of pris…
Prosecuting the Japanese
In coordination with the other Allies in the Pacific, the Dutch decided to prosecute war criminals in their custody at military tribunals. These “temporary courts-martial” were created by the colonial authorities in 1946 and were located in twelve different cities and towns in the East Indies. This chapter explains how these temporary courts-martial were organized, and how the Dutch decided on the thirty-eight war crimes that could be prosecuted …
Trials for Mass Murder and Unlawful Executions
Temporary courts-martial heard evidence of “mass murder” and “unlawful executions” carried out by the Japanese during the occupation. The murders were either in retaliation for general resistance to their authority or else because “military necessity” required it. As for unlawful executions, the gist of this offense was that the accused had killed (or had ordered his subordinates to kill) one or more citizens for some alleged crime or misconduct,…
An Unfortunate Sideshow
There have always been men and women who collaborate—provide aid, comfort, and support—to the enemy in time of war. In the Indies, both Europeans and nonEuropeans collaborated with the Japanese during the occupation. This chapter examines five war crimes tribunals involving Europeans, with the focus on the prosecution of a Japanese-speaking Dutchman who made radio propaganda broadcasts for the enemy and the trial of Head Police Commissioner P. J.…
