On 31 October 2025, to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and Thammasat University’s Faculty of Law organized a film screening of the Netflix series, Tokyo Trial, to facilitate public dialogue on international humanitarian law (IHL).
The series revisits the 1946–1948 Tokyo War Crimes Trial not only from a historical perspective, but as a direct precursor to today’s mechanisms that repress war crimes and the vital work of upholding the Geneva Conventions which protect persons who either have not or are no longer participating in hostilities.
The jointly organized movie screenings have become a hallmark of the partnership between Thammasat University’s law faculty and the ICRC’s regional delegation in Bangkok, serving as a crucial platform to raise awareness of IHL in Thailand. Since 2019, these film screenings have harnessed the power of film to make complex legal principles accessible, connecting the fundamental rules of war with the human suffering they are designed to alleviate and prevent.
Previous film screenings, Eye in the Sky (2015), All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) and First They Killed My Father (2017), explored diverse facets of modern conflict and its human cost.
“The jointly organized film screenings have become a hallmark of the partnership between Thammasat University’s law faculty and the ICRC’s regional delegation in Bangkok, serving as a crucial platform to raise awareness of IHL in Thailand.”
Author’s note: This summary preserves the original facts and intent, presenting a concise overview of the collaboration between ICRC and Thammasat University to promote IHL awareness through cinema. It also reflects on the series’ role as a bridge between historical events and contemporary enforcement of humanitarian law.
