Introduction
At the time of the World War II on 6 August 1945, the most violent attack in the history of the humankind took place, which led the whole world to think and think about the implementations of certain rules and regulations in the international affairs.

The United States did not remain silent after one attack and that is why another B - 29 bombers dropped a plutonium atomic bomb (popularly known by the name "Fat Man") over Nagasaki, in which almost 40,000 people lost their lives. Immediately after the two devastating attacks Hirohito, the Japanese Emperor announced the unconditional surrender of Japan in the World War II on 15 August stating about the devastating attacks on Japan by a new and most powerful bomb. Statistics show that in both the cities half of the deaths occurred on the first day of the attack, but a large number of population continued to die months after months for the effects of radiation, sickness, skin burns as well as other immunity disorders.
However, immediately after the surrender of Japan on 2 September 1945, the chapter of the World War II was closed down, but often after justifying repeatedly the social and political characters of the world history, the scholars are still in doubt about the proper aptness and legal justifications of the two bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki of Japan.
