Abstract

Cilj ovog rada je približiti postupan razvoj provođenja eksperimenata na ljudima iz
povijesne i pravne perspektive. U središtu su eksperimenti provedeni u Japanu za vrijeme
Drugog svjetskog rata u Jedinici 731. U skladu s holističkim pristupom temi, provedena je
usporedba medicinskih suđenja Njemačkoj i Japanu. Ukazano je na važnost međunarodne
kaznene odgovornosti pojedinca i osnivanja Međunarodnih vojnih kaznenih sudova u
Nürnbergu i Tokiju. Imperativ je i na donošenju međunarodnih dokumenata koji će postati
temeljne odrednice moderne bioetike, pa sve do kritike međunarodne zajednice u propuštanju
procesuiranja odgovornih osoba.

Abstract (english)

The purpose of this paper is to familiarize readers with the progressive evolution of
performing human experimentation from a historical and legal standpoint. The emphasis is on
experiments carried out at Unit 731 in Japan during the Second World War. A comparison of
medical trials in Germany and Japan was done in accordance with a holistic approach to the
topic. Also, the significance of the individual's international criminal responsibility was
emphasized, as well as the founding of the Military Tribunals at Nüremberg and Tokyo.
Additionally, it is essential to adopt international guidelines that will shape contemporary
bioethics fundamentally, including condemnation of the international community for failing to
hold offenders accountable.
