Nuremberg & personal resposibility

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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"
