It is also linked with the trials where leading representatives of the Nazi regime had to answer for their crimes in an international court of justice. Between 20 November, 1945, and 1 October, 1946, the International Military Tribunal’s trial of the main war criminals (IMT) was held in Court Room 600 at the Nuremberg Palace of Justice. Between 1946 and 1949, twelve follow-up trials were also held here. Those tried included high- ranking representatives of the military, administration, medical profession, legal system, industry Press Release and politics. History Two years after Germany had unleashed World War II on 1 September, 1939, leading politicians and military staff of the anti-Hitler coalition started to consider bringing to account those Germans responsible for war crimes which had come to light at that point. The Moscow Declaration of 1943 and the Conference of Yalta of February 1945 confirmed this attitude. Nevertheless, the ideas – Presseinformation concerning the type of proceeding to use in the trial were extremely divergent. After difficult negotiations, on 8 August, 1945, the four Allied powers (USA, Britain, France and the Soviet Union) concluded the London Agreement, on a "Charter for The International Military Tribunal", providing for indictment for the following crimes in a trial based on the rule of law: 1.

    Bibliography Primary Sources Biddle, Francis. "The Nürnberg Trial." In Perspectives on the Nuremberg Trial, 200-12. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008. Francis Biddle, the primary American judge of the IMT, wrote this short piece only months after the conclusion of the trials. His purpose was largely to clarify common misconceptions about the trial - primarily their "root in victor's justice." This article helped clarify some essential points of the trial and its justification for me. Dodd, Christopher J., and Lary Bloom. Letters from Nuremberg: My Father's Narrative of a Quest for Justice. New York: Crown Pub., 2007. Print. This is a collection of letters written by Thomas Dodd to his family members back home detailing the events of the International Military Tribunal and his involvement in it. These provide a unique first-hand look at what the prosecution team was doing in Nuremberg and helped provide a better understanding of the prosecutors' strategy and mentality throughout the trial.

Charter of the International Military Tribunal - Annex to the Agreement for the Prosecution and Punishment of the Major War Criminals of the uropean Axis ("London Agreement"). August 8, 1945. The Charter of the IMT, commonly known as the "London Charter," authorized the formation of the International Military Tribunal and outlined the rules and procedures it was to follow. This is one of the central documents of the trial, and its contents were drawn upon in future trials and in the Rome Statute. It was incredibly important to this project, and it is featured in full on the website.

  • JUDGEMENT at NUREMBERG 1946 Fact Sheet
    JUDGEMENT AT NUREMBERG 1946 Fact Sheet On the morning of October 16, 1946, five of the Nazi war criminals who had been tried and convicted at the Nuremburg Trials were seated at the prison morning mess table. Their breakfast was interrupted by a United States Soldier who asked for their autographs. They had never seen this person before and his unfamiliar face aroused the suspicions of Herman Goering. When he inquired as to the identity of the mysterious soldier he learned that Master Sergeant John Woods was the official hangman for the prisoners and that his real purpose had not been collecting autographs but estimating bodyweight of three of the five men seated at the table. The gallows had been secretly constructed in the prison gym and the executions would begin that evening. Goering was first on the list. He had stated earlier that if he was to be executed, it should be by firing squad instead of being hung like a common criminal. Early that evening Goering asked the guard to go into the luggage room and bring him some of his personal belongings. Within an hour, he had committed suicide by biting down on a glass capsule filled with cyanide that he had secretly hidden in his belongings. Sergeant Woods, on hearing of Goering’s death, was enraged at missing the opportunity of hanging the infamous war criminal, but continued with the other hangings as scheduled. Woods was a professional who had hanged hundreds of people and these executions were no different. The routine for hanging each convicted criminal was the same.

Though the printed word is essential in learning, educators have been taking notice of the new visual and oratory stimuli and incorporated them into classroom teaching. The purpose of this idea packet is to further introduce teacher colleagues to this methodology and share a compilation of films which may be easily implemented in secondary social studies instruction. Though this project focuses in grades 6-12 social studies we believe that media should be infused into all K-12 subject areas, from language arts, math, and foreign languages, to science, the arts, physical education, and more. In this day and age, students have become accustomed to acquiring knowledge through mediums such as television and movies. Though books and text are essential in learning, teachers should take notice of the new visual stimuli. Films are familiar in the everyday lives of students.

  • High Command Case: a Study in Staff and Command Responsibility
    JOHN JAY DOUGLASS* Colonel, JAGC High Command Case: A Study in Staff and Command Responsibility Less than twenty-five years after the conclusion of the major World War I1war crimes trials, international jurists, historians and the general public are not clear as to, nor are they apparently concerned with, the authority, procedure or even the significant legal decisions of the war crimes trials held both in Europe and the Far East following World War 11.1 Even a mere twenty-five years of experience indicates there will be other trials of those accused of criminal acts in war. Such trials, as well as international lawmakers, should well review the German High Command Trial before the United States Military Tribunal at Nuremberg in October 1948. The lessons of this trial may well be the most important of those from any of the trials held following World War 11. The thrust of this trial and its results relate to the authority of command- ers of military forces for actions of their troops and their personal respon- sibility, as well as the responsibility of staff officers in senior staff positions, for'actions taken by them or carried on under their direction. As a result of recent developments within the United States, arising from the war in Vietnam, it is worthwhile to review the German High Command Trial and to analyze its relationship to the present state of the law.

  • Implications of the Nuremberg Trials on the Trajectory of International Law, and the Reunification of German-Jewish Cultures
    Tori Misrok Implications of the Nuremberg Trials on the Trajectory of International Law, and the Reunification of German-Jewish Cultures Upon the liberation of the myriad of concentration and extermination camps in Eastern Europe, proponents of justice across the globe urged for rectification for victims of the Holocaust, and retribution for the perpetrators. The multitude of abuses committed against the Jewish community, along with other populations such as homosexuals and “gypsies,” were unprecedented in scope, and demanded collective, international attention to prevent repetition. Prior to the post-World War II era, sovereign nations dealt with allocating responsibility for war crimes, and reparations when a war concluded, whereas they now had to factor consequences of the Holocaust into the adjudication. The Allied powers continuously denounced Nazi Germany for her actions, intending to deter further behavior; however, the aggression persisted. Although precedent for trying officials and nations accused of committing war crimes proved ineffective, the actions of Nazi Germany surpassed traditional aggressive war crimes, and infringed on human rights. Due to Nazi Germany’s unrelenting, militaristic belligerence, and remorseless persecution of the Jewish people, Allied forces were determined to administer punishment for their transgressions. Through the establishment of ad hoc military tribunals, Allied forces transcended the previous scope of international law by developing stringent regulations regarding atrocities of war, as well as

  • Some Questions and Issues Raised by the Film Judgment at Nuremberg
    THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS SHOULD HELP YOU TO PREPARE FOR THE DISCUSSION OF JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG AND OF HOW THE LESSONS OF THESE TRIALS RELATE TO ISSUES THAT WE DISCUSSED EARLIER IN THE SEMESTER: SOME QUESTIONS AND ISSUES RAISED BY THE FILM JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG 1) WHY DOES ERNST JANNING CHALLENGE THE AUTHORITY OF THE TRIBUNAL TO TRY HIM AND THE OTHER JUDGES? WHERE DOES THE TRIBUNAL’S AUTHORITY—AND ITS LEGITIMACY—COME FROM? 2) WERE THE NUREMBERG TRIALS JUST “VICTOR’S JUSTICE?” DID THEY APPLY A CLEAR AND EXISTING INTERNATIONAL LAW? WAS THERE A VIOLATION OF THE PRINCIPLE THAT PERSONS CANNOT BE TRIED FOR BEHAVIORS THAT WERE NOT CRIMINAL AT THE TIME THAT THOSE BEHAVIORS WERE COMMITTED? 3) WHAT DOES DEFENSE COUNSEL, HERR ROLF, MEAN WHEN HE SAYS THAT THE TRIBUNAL IS CREATING A CODE OF JUSTICE THAT THE WHOLE WORLD CAN BE RESPONSIBLE TO? IN WHAT SENSE CAN LAW BE MADE BY COURTS AS OPPOSED TO LEGISLATIVE BODIES? 4) THE PROSECUTOR ARGUES THAT DEFENDANTS WERE GUILTY OF “CRIMES COMMITTED IN THE NAME OF THE LAW.” HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR THE LAW TO VIOLATE THE LAW? BY WHAT STANDARD CAN WE JUDGE LAW TODAY? 5) DEFENDANT HOFSTEDLER CLAIMED THAT HE WAS DOING WHAT EVERY JUDGE MUST DO, CARRYING OUT THE LAW. HERR ROLF ALSO REFERS TO THE ROLE OF JUDGES, SAYING THAT THEY MUST NOT MAKE THE LAW, BUT RATHER CARRY IT OUT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER DOING SO IS JUST. CAN A JUDGE REASONABLY BE HELD CRIMINALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR APPLYING THE LAW OF HIS OR HER COUNTRY? DOES A “PATRIOT” CARRY OUT THE LAW OF THE COUNTRY OR FOLLOW JUSTICE WHEN THE TWO ARE IN CONFLICT? DOES IT MATTER HOW UNJUST THE LAW IS? 6) HERR ROLF SAYS THAT IF THE DEFENDANT JUDGES ARE TO BE FOUND GUILTY THEN OTHERS ARE GUILTY TOO--THE POPE, THE SOVIET UNION, THE AMERICAN INDUSTRIALISTS WHO PROFITED BY RE-ARMING HITLER.
