WMR reporting today from Nuremberg, Germany -- the site of the 1945-1946 International War Crimes Tribunal of leading Nazi leaders.

Nazi leaders in Nuremberg were charged with four counts: 1) Conspiracy against world peace; 2) Planning, unleashing, and executing an aggressive war; 3) War crimes and offenses; 4) Crimes against humanity

The indicted Nazi war criminals on trial. The International Criminal Court should have the same authority to try U.S. war criminals and honor the commitment of Chief Nuremberg Prosecutor Robert Jackson, appointed by President Harry S Truman. Jackson said "the United States itself will be bound in the future by the rules it is imposing on German war criminals in Nuremberg today." >>>cont

"We should recognize that Nuremberg's condemnation of aggressive war was not a legal theory but a description of facts. Following the Holocaust, the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg called the waging of aggressive war 'essentially an evil thing ... to initiate a war of aggression ... is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.'"
