He said: “Yamashita lacks any rights in United States Courts in time of war. The Court's decision will concern international considerations of the utmost gravity, determining the extent to which the United States in wartime may deal with those who barbarously ' waged war against America.” '
The United States Army officers acting as coun:el for Yamashita, claimed that he is entitled to civil trial, and that the military commission denied him the 'right of cross-examination. They said the right to be tried fairly is a fundamental human right.
