| Summary: | The repression, pursuant to the principles of the Nuremberg judgment, of
international crimes against peace and humanity, which the General Assembly of
the United Nations confirmed by its resolution of 11 December 1946, can only be
ensured by the establishment of an International Criminal Court. This would
avoid any future recurrence of the criticism often leveled against the International
Military Tribunal for the trial of major war criminals, that it was an ad hoc court,
which only imperfectly represented the international community.
-Memorandum submitted to the United Nations Committee on the Progressive
Development of International Law and its Codification by Henri Donnedieu de
Vabres, representative of France and former Judge of the International Mililary
Tribunal at Nuremberg, 15 May 1947. |
