1. 南京大屠杀可以被认定为种族灭绝罪的法律依据

联合国关于种族灭绝罪的convention
from http://www.hrweb.org/legal/genocide.html

Article 2
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

请注意，“不分”的限定。就南京大屠杀事件是否有人为的动机，我做了简单的研究，虽然没有看到像纳粹德国杀害犹太人那样明显，但是，简单的讲，如此大量的杀害非战斗人员的事件绝不可能让人认为是孤立的，没有组织的，而且也无法解释，在长达6个星期的屠杀中，日本政府当时没有制止，事后也没有处分责任人。注意，远东军事法庭还专门调查了南京大屠杀，并且对Lieutenant General Tani Hisao判处死刑。

判决是
“
Hisao Tani, having been convicted of instigating, inspiring and encouraging during the war the men under his command to stage general massacres of prisoners of war and non-combatants and to perpetrate such crimes as rape, plunder and wanton destruction of property, is hereby sentenced to death. “

. 很多文章提到，当时天皇的叔叔，Prince Asaka 在南京大屠杀前发布了“Kill all captives“的命令。
