"The Nuremberg Trial is the most important legal event of the 20th century, not only for its historical significance but mainly for the legal innovations it introduced. For the first time in history, the defeated of a war did not merely suffer the consequences of their defeat but were brought before a court that applied laws enacted after the commission of the acts."

The legal question posed is whether this procedure was in accordance with the universally recognized principles of Law. This study does not examine the moral aspect of the acts but the legal basis on which the condemnation of the leaders of the Third Reich was founded.

It is essential to understand that justice, to be valid, must be based on pre-existing laws and not on the will of the victors, no matter how just the punishment of the defeated may seem."
