Sun Lei, Chargé d'Affaires of the Permanent Mission of China to the United Nations, addresses the first session of the Preparatory Committee for the Conference on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Humanity. He stressed that the international community must work together to protect the results of the Second World War, including the Tokyo trials, and prevent Japan from returning to the path of militarism that has caused deep suffering in the past.
According to Sun Lei, crimes against humanity are serious acts that threaten world peace and security. Japanese militarism during World War II brought suffering to the people of China, Asia and other parts of the world.
Sun Lei further pointed out that in today's era, when the world is facing complex regional conflicts and recurring unrest, the prevention and punishment of crimes against humanity is both timely and essential to preserving international stability.
