Overview

60 years after the trials of the main German war criminals, the articles in this book attempt to assess the Nuremberg Trials from a historical and legal point of view, and to illustrate connections, contradictions and consequences. In view of constantly reoccurring reports of mass crimes from all over the world, we have only reached the halfway point in the quest for an effective system of international criminal justice. With the legacy of Nuremberg in mind, this volume is a contribution to the search for answers to questions of how the law can be applied effectively and those committing crimes against humanity be brought to justice for their actions.

Moge der gesamte bewegende Band dazu beitragen, Antworten auf die grundlegende Frage zu finden, wie Menschenrechtsverbrecher fur ihre Taten zur Verantwortung gezogen werden konnen,wenn schon der Menschheit nicht gelingt, Verbrechen des Menschen gegen den Menschen insgesamt zu verhuten. Gerhard Kobler in: Zeitschrift der Savigny-Stiftung fur Rechtsgeschichte 127/2010 Insgesamt gelingt es dem Sammelband, das Thema der Nurnberger Prozesse und deren Bedeutung fur das Volkerstrafrecht mit einer erstaunlichen Spannbreite zu erfassen, ohne die innere Spannung zu verlieren. Der Band ist eine Fundgrube fur historisch und volkerstrafrechtlich interessierte Leser, die Lekture der Beitrage ist durchweg anregend. Prof. Dr. Bernd Grzeszick in: Archiv des Volkerrechts Nr. 45, 2007
