|
Hirota v. MacArthur, 338 U.S. 197 (1948), was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States, which held that “the courts of the United States have no power or authority to review, to affirm, set aside or annul the judgments and sentences imposed on these petitioners [by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East] and for this reason the motions for leave to file petitions for writs of habeas corpus are denied.”
The appeal to the US Supreme Court was made following the death sentence against Koki Hirota and six other Japanese leaders tried for war crimes.
