Nuremberg

Nuremberg refers primarily to the Nuremberg Trials, a series of military tribunals held after World War II to prosecute prominent leaders of Nazi Germany for war crimes. From 1945 to 1946, these trials sought to hold individuals accountable for crimes against humanity, including genocide and the Holocaust. The proceedings established key legal precedents, emphasizing that individuals, including heads of state, could be held responsible for their actions during wartime. The principles from the Nuremberg Trials have influenced international law and human rights, reinforcing the idea that such crimes should not go unpunished.
