Judges for nuremberg trials

Aerial View of Nuremberg. When Nazi Germany surrendered in , the U. In June representatives of these governments, along with the newly liberated French government, met in London at the International Conference of Military Trials. This tribunal was composed of eight judges, evenly divided among the four powers. However, only four judges were charged with deciding the cases. The other four judges served as alternates.

The London Agreement sought to provide fairness and due process to the defendants. To this end each defendant was represented by a lawyer and the standard U. Evidentiary rules also generally followed the Anglo-American system, allowing cross-examination and the right to introduce evidence that excused the alleged criminal acts. However, the rules on admissibility of documents were relaxed in light of the difficulty of authenticating papers taken by the victors. The IMT decided on the admissibility of evidence and all other matters by a majority vote.

The U. Supreme Court justice Robert H. Jackson was the lead prosecutor, heading a large group of American civilian and military lawyers. America is one of the worst. Galactus from the comic books could not have done a better job. I totally agree Jane…. Their relentless brainwashing and deceptive one-sided reporting has ensured the projection of a singular vile narrative designed to evoke fear and division among the people. Judge Giorgianni is a true hero.

We need to have men and women of his caliper on our Supreme Court. Italy should be very proud. This pandemic hoax cost thousands of lives. Probably a lot more. There are every year but they all were blamed on Covid.

Even our worthless media D had to put up several deaths from accidents and some just outright lied. The money was good for hospitals and Doctors.

There is a lot more to see there. Truth hurts the big pharma and the phony governments out for control! They they torture and kill humans and animals practicing their sick art. All it is. Thank you for posting your comment! Now that magistrate Angelo Giorgianni has stepped up to the plate, I pray many more magistrates, globally, will follow suit!

While the alternates did not have an official vote in any decision, the judges agreed that they should play an active role in deliberations. On September 2, , the judges were sequestered with two interpreters for nearly a month. To speed the work, clerks had been preparing analyses of the defendants' guilt since May. On the first day alone, the judges convicted 16 of the 21 defendants.

Conspiracy to Commit War The Nazi conspiracy and the guilt of its organizations were more complicated matters. De Vabres moved to strike the conspiracy count on the grounds that international law did not recognize it and the evidence did not prove it. He persuaded Biddle of this, but Birkett and Parker were convinced that a conspiracy had taken place and feared that a rejection of the count would cause the entire case to unravel.

Do you want to acquit the Nazi regime? Ideology on Trial Eventually Biddle brokered a resolution acceptable to all parties: the conspiracy charge would be applied to the waging of an aggressive war, but not to war crimes and crimes against humanity. While this decision enabled the judges to convict eight defendants on count one, it undercut the cases against the Geheime Staatspolizei Gestapo and Sicherheitsdienst SD , which operated independently from the Nazi war machinery.

The French judges could not accept the appearance of exoneration. These crimes include murder, torture, sexual violence, enslavement, persecution, enforced disappearance, etc. In the second approach, the absolute liability doctrine, superior orders are no defense; superior orders can only be considered in mitigation of punishment.

Adolf Hitler was almost Adolf Schicklgruber. Or Adolf Hiedler. His father, Alois, was born out of wedlock to Maria Anna Schicklgruber and given her surname. The most lethal war in human history is almost certainly World War II. Other wars may have been more lethal but lack credible records.

Sixty to eighty million people died between and Twenty one to twenty five million of the deaths were military, the remainder civilian. Japan intended the attack as a preventive action to prevent the United States Pacific Fleet from interfering with its planned military actions in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and those of the United States.

On , the government of Italy declares war on its former Axis partner Germany and joins the battle on the side of the Allies. Japan and the United States were not then at war, although their conflicting interests were threatening to turn violent. The attack turned a dispute into a war; —Pearl Harbor was a crime because the Japanese struck first. Sixty years later, the administration of President George W.
