Motions, rulings and orders of the IMTFE

This section of the Northcroft collection deals with several groupings of IMTFE documents. The first contains all motions presented to the tribunal. These range from procedural motions to requests of a mistrial. These motions, rulings, and orders were read either in open court or in chambers. The second section includes the Orders on Motions Presented to the Court Volumes I and II. These are the IMTFE justices’ replies and directives concerning the various motions presented to court. The final section is made up of the Rulings of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. In the words of the International Prosecution Section (IPS), “This document represents an effort to codify the more important rulings of the IMTFE. The decisions included were selected because they deal with significant specific questions of law or contain statements of the President on general propositions of law”.
