Who: Nuremburg
What: trial
Where: Nuremburg, Germany
Detail: Nuremburg Nazi-war-criminal trials changed international law. They used laws passed after the acts {ex post facto law} {nullum crimen nulla poena sine lege}. They had no precedents. Aggressive war is crime. Aggressive-nation leaders are responsible for war, because people have duties to conscience that are higher than duties to state.
