77 years ago, on October 1, 1946, the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg delivered a historic verdict, condemning the main Nazi war criminals and legally securing the defeat of the Hitler regime. This truly epoch-making event rightfully went down in history as the Trial of Nations. The Nuremberg trials opened a new page in the development of international law.

Those Nazi organisations that systematically developed and implemented these misanthropic plans are forever outlawed.
