Nuremberg Military Tribunals

The Nuremberg Military Tribunals were a series of trials held after World War II to prosecute prominent leaders of Nazi Germany for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and other offenses. Following the main Nuremberg Trials (1945-1946), additional trials took place from 1946 to 1949, addressing various groups, including doctors and industrialists. These tribunals established key legal precedents for international law, emphasizing accountability for individuals, regardless of their official positions. They aimed to deliver justice for the atrocities committed during the Holocaust and set a framework for addressing future war crimes.
