Der letzte lebende Ankläger der Nürnberger Prozesse, Benjamin B. Ferencz, ist gestorben.
In addition to convicting prominent Nazi war criminals, he crusaded for an international criminal court and for laws to end wars of aggression.

I also learned that if we did not devote ourselves to developing effective world law, the same cruel mentality that made the Holocaust possible might one day destroy the entire human race.”

Although Mr. Ferencz supported the International Criminal Court, it fell short of his hopes. While it may prosecute genocide and war crimes under a treaty signed by more than 120 nations, its reach does not include wars of aggression, whose definition is elusive. Some 40 countries, including the United States, Russia, China, Israel and Iraq, did not sign or ratify the treaty. Critics say the court has focused on prosecutions in Africa while American wars have not even been investigated.

“The United States was in fact the leader in creating the rule of law in connection with war at the Nuremberg tribunals and inspired the world,” Mr. Ferencz told The Times, “and the president of the United States under our Constitution is vested with the sole authority to negotiate and sign treaties. But the authority seems to have slipped away.”

Meine Schwester arbeite am dortigen Gericht.
Dort hat sich seit 1946 nicht viel Grundsätzliches geändert.
