Two former prime ministers and other high-profile figures are calling for the creation of an international tribunal modelled on the post-World War II Nuremberg tribunal
Writing in NLJ this week, however, Sir Geoffrey Bindman QC asks: do we need another Nuremberg?
Bindman writes that the ‘Nuremberg principles’ later became established. The United Nations was created, and the International Criminal Court (ICC) was set up.
On the other hand, he identifies a snag with the ICC, which could cause problems. He writes: ‘It is unthinkable that legal niceties should protect those responsible, and that those who commit such crimes should escape justice by reliance on technicalities.’RELATED ARTICLES
