南京大虐殺・従軍慰安婦強制連行の嘘

JUSTICE FOR WORLD WAR II CRIMES

Created by Attorney General Order in 1979 in response to enactment of the so-called Holtzman Amendment to the Immigration and Nationality Act the previous year, OSI’s original mission, which it is still pursuing, was to detect, investigate, and prosecute any U.S. citizen or resident who assisted or otherwise participated in perpetrating acts of persecution on behalf of Nazi Germany or its Axis allies during the period 1933 to 1945. As crimes committed against non-Americans outside the United States during that period are not within the criminal jurisdiction of U.S. courts, OSI prosecutes Nazi and Axis persecutors under the civil immigration laws, seeking to denaturalize those who have obtained U.S. citizenship and ultimately to remove or extradite all such persecutors from the United States, preferably to countries in which they might stand trial for their crimes. As of 2008, OSI has successfully prosecuted 107 Nazi persecutors. OSI has also worked closely with the Department of Homeland Security to stop more than180 former European and Japanese Axis perpetrators and suspected perpetrators of acts of persecution at U.S. ports of entry and bar them from entering the United States. Additionally, OSI has investigated and reported publicly on the postwar employment of Nazi criminals and collaborators by U.S. intelligence agencies and on the fate of gold and artwork looted from Nazi victims, and the unit helped lead efforts to declassify and release to the public U.S. Government records pertaining to Axis war criminals. As a result of OSI’s record in identifying, investigating and denying refuge in the United States to Nazi persecutors, the United States is the only country in the world to have won the “A” rating from the Simon Wiesenthal Center for effectiveness in pursuing justice for Holocaust crimes.
