International Military Tribunal

The International Military Tribunal (IMT) was a court established after World War II to prosecute prominent leaders of Nazi Germany for war crimes. It took place in Nuremberg, Germany, from 1945 to 1946. The tribunal aimed to hold individuals accountable for actions including genocide, crimes against humanity, and violations of international law. It set precedents for how the world discusses human rights and justice, emphasizing that individuals, not just states, can be held responsible for their actions during wartime. The IMT is considered a foundation for modern international criminal law.
