Nuremberg & personal resposibility
- Date: Mon, 19 Apr 1999 12:14:32 -0400 (EDT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Nürnberg Tribunal clearly states that:
"Crimes against international law are committed by men,
not by abstract entities, and only by punishing individuals
who commit such crimes can the provisions of international law
be enforced"
"Hitler could not make aggressive war by himself.
He had to have the cooperation of statesmen, military leaders,
diplomats and businessmen"
"When they, with knowledge of his aims, gave him their
cooperation, they made themselves parties to the plan he had
initiated. They are not to be deemed innocent because Hitler
made use of them, if they knew what they were doing"
