The Nuremberg Trial of the Main War Criminals established new guidelines for international criminal jurisdiction. Nevertheless, it was more than half a century before, on 1 July, 2002, that a permanent International Criminal Court dealing with war crimes and violations of human rights was finally established in The Hague. The permanent exhibition illustrates the legal, political and moral aspects which the Nuremberg Trial and the International Criminal Court in The Hague have in common, and where they differ.
In the discussion, we will illustrate the link from the Nuremberg "trial of the century" to today's International Criminal Court and discuss why the International Criminal Court is necessary, what it can achieve and what it cannot be expected to do. In the 3-hour programme, the ad-hoc tribunals (Yugoslavia and Rwanda) and the hybrid tribunals (including Cambodia) will be discussed. In the 4-hour version, the group will mainly address in depth current issues of war crimes and genocide.
