AI notes: The Nuremberg Trials officially began on November 20, 1945, in Nuremberg, Germany, marking the first time in history that major international leaders were prosecuted for crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The trials were conducted by the Allied powers—United States, United Kingdom, Soviet Union, and France—under the authority of the International Military Tribunal (IMT).
Twenty-four high-ranking Nazi officials were indicted, including Hermann Göring, Rudolf Hess, and Joachim von Ribbentrop, charged with planning and executing aggressive war and orchestrating atrocities such as the Holocaust. The opening session featured the formal reading of the indictments and set the stage for a historic legal precedent: holding individuals, rather than just states, accountable for violations of international law. The trials were presided over by judges from the four Allied nations and represented a monumental effort to document Nazi crimes and establish principles of justice for future international law.
