Proceedings of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg

The Proceedings of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg were legal trials held after World War II to prosecute Nazi leaders for crimes like war atrocities, genocide, and crimes against humanity. Starting in 1945, representatives from Allied countries judged high-ranking officials for their roles in the Holocaust and other war crimes. The trials established principles of international law, including holding individuals accountable for such acts, regardless of their positions. Their work set a precedent for future international justice, emphasizing accountability, human rights, and the rule of law in addressing horrific acts committed during wartime.
