NUREMBERG AND GROUP PROSECUTION* RICHARD ARENSt INTRODUCTION The trial of the Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg for crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity involved not only the indictment of individual defendants but also the indictment of the major Nazi organizations. 1 An aspect almost completely ignored in the welter of allega- gations concerning the ex post facto basis of the Nuremberg prosecutions2 is that concerning the infliction of collective or group sanctions through adjudication of group criminality. The question touching on the use of such sanctions for the maintenance of public order has become particularly acute in recent years in democratic society faced with the threat of global violence. An ominous resort to group or collective deprivations was highlighted in the Western world during World War II by deportation of West Coast Japanese-Americans to "relocation centers" in the name of security? A subsequent resort to the infliction of such deprivations has become apparent in the * This is the second of two studies on war crimes prosecutions prepared for the Quarterly by Professor Arens.

  • ARCHIVES and the CONSTRUCTION of IDENTITY Palpable
    TMK AMERICAN ARCHIVIST We Are What We Collect, We Collect What We Are: Archives Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/63/1/126/2749259/aarc_63_1_h554377531233l05.pdf by guest on 27 September 2021 and the Construction of Identity Elisabeth Kaplan Abstract This essay considers the role of archives and archivists against a backdrop of the contempo- rary debate on identity, illustrated by research on the establishment and early years of the oldest extant ethnic historical society in the United States—the American Jewish Historical Society—and the construction of American/Jewish identities. Recent intellectual debate has examined questions of national, ethnic, gender, class, and community identities, of individ- ual and group identity, and of the formation of identity. A spectrum of positions has emerged from this debate. On one end, identity is viewed as "real," intrinsic to individuals and com- munities or even biologically based. On the other, identity is conceived of as social fiction, constructed culturally for political and historical reasons. On the whole, serious scholars have rejected the former view. Archivists should be cognizant of this fact because they are major players in the business of identity politics, whether they are conscious of it or not. Archivists appraise, collect, and preserve the props with which notions of identity are built. In turn, notions of identity are confirmed andjustified as historical documents validate their authority. The American Jewish Historical Society t the close of the nineteenth century, American Jews were confronted with a profound philosophical dilemma. An unfortunate confluence Aof political, economic, and social conditions in the United States and Europe swept the very meaning of Jewish identity into disarray, and left American Jews increasingly uneasy about their status as Americans.

Im Folgenden soll es um die Partei Die Grünen gehen, die Entwicklung ihrer Positionen zum Ost-West-Konflikt und zur darin eingebetteten deutschen Frage. Dabei ist die Positionierung der Grünen nur adäquat nachzuvollziehen, wenn man das generelle Politikverständnis der Akteure dieser Partei berücksichtigt. «Wir sind weder rechts noch links, sondern vorn!»,1 lautete das Credo, mit dem sich Die Grünen als «Alternative zu den herkömmlichen Parteien»2 Ende der 1970er Jahre präsentierten und sich quer zum bestehenden Parteiensystem in der BRD verorteten. Mit gleicher Radikalität postulierten sie in ihrem Saarbrücker Bundesprogramm von 1980 ihre Gegnerschaft zu den sogenannten Industriegesellschaften in Ost und West: «Sowohl aus der Wettbewerbswirtschaft als auch aus der Konzentration wirtschaftlicher Macht in staats- und privatkapitalistischen Monopolen gehen jene ausbeuterischen Wachstumszwänge hervor, in deren Folge die völlige Verseuchung und Verwüstung der menschlichen Lebensbasis droht.»3 Die Partei machte sich für einen ökologisch-humanistisch-pazifistischen dritten Weg stark.

  • Cyclic Peptides for Effective Treatment in a Long-Term Model of Graves Disease and Orbitopathy in Female Mice
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Q:1; 2 Cyclic Peptides for Effective Treatment in a Long-Term Model of Graves Disease and Orbitopathy in Female Mice Hans-Peter Holthoff,1 Zhongmin Li,1 Julia Faßbender,1 Andreas Reimann,1 Kristin Adler,1 G¨otz M¨unch,1 and Martin Ungerer1 1Procorde-advanceCOR, D 82152 Martinsried, Germany Q:3 A model for human Graves disease in mice was used to compare several treatment approaches. The mice received regular adenovirus (Ad) thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) A subunit immunizations (injections every 4 weeks). The generation of anti-TSHR antibodies, enlarged thyroid sizes (goiter), elevated serum thyroxine levels, retro-orbital fibrosis, and cardiac involvement (tachycardia and hypertrophy) were consistently observed over 9 months. Treatment of established disease in these mice using cyclic peptides that mimic one of the cylindrical loops of the TSHR leucine- rich repeat domain improved or cured all investigated parameters after six consecutive monthly injections. Substantial beneficial effects were observed 3 to 4 months after starting these therapies. In immunologically naive mice, administration of any of the cyclic peptides did not induce any immune response. In contrast, monthly injections of the full antigenic TSHR A domain as fusion Q:4 protein with immunoglobulin G (IgG)-Fc induced clinical signs of allergy in Ad-TSHR–immunized mice and anti-TSHR antibodies in naive control mice. In conclusion, cyclic peptides resolved many clinical findings in a mouse model of established Graves disease and orbitopathy. In contrast to blocking TSHR by allosteric modulation, the approach does not incur a direct receptor antagonism, which might offer a favorable side effect profile.
