Why US' Nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Should be Legally Assessed by Int'l Court Second, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not force Japan to surrender, highlighted Panov.

Why US' Nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Should be Legally Assessed by Int'l Court Following the nuclear strikes, the US came up with a convenient excuse that the bombing hastened the end of the war and saved the lives of American soldiers, noted Panov, emphasizing that these claims don't hold water. First, there was no military need for the atomic bombing of Japan, according to the diplomat. Prior to taking the decision to bomb the Japanese cities, six of the seven top US military officials argued that there was no military necessity for it, and that, from an ethical point of view, it would be a barbaric inhumane act. Indeed, there were zero important military installations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 3 |

"However, the point of holding a tribunal for the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is to assess such actions.
