Abstract The International War Crimes Tribunal organized by Bertrand Russell in 1966–1967 sought to investigate alleged violations of international law and the Nuremberg Principles by the United States in Vietnam. While the Tribunal successfully convened three sets of hearings in Stockholm, Sweden, Roskilde, Denmark, and, Tokyo, Japan, it was easily dismissed in most of Western Europe and the United States as an anti-American propaganda ploy. This article explores how the United States Government deployed the national security state and international diplomacy to discredit and disrupt the proceedings of the Russell Tribunal and ultimately contain the embarrassing damage caused by this first major international antiwar initiative during the Vietnam War.

声音太大而无法超越沉默：美国诉国际战争罪法庭，1966-1967

摘要 由伯特兰·罗素 (Bertrand Russell) 于 1966 年至 1967 年组织的国际战争罪行法庭试图调查美国在越南涉嫌违反国际法和纽伦堡原则的行为。虽然法庭在瑞典斯德哥尔摩、丹麦罗斯基勒和日本东京成功召开了三场听证会，但在西欧和美国的大部分地区，它很容易被视为反美宣传伎俩。本文探讨了美国政府如何运用国家安全国家和国际外交来抹黑和扰乱罗素法庭的诉讼程序，并最终遏制越南战争期间第一次重大国际反战倡议造成的尴尬破坏。
