Legacies of Nuremberg

(Excerpt) I am very grateful to the leaders and sponsoring organizations that have brought the Dialogs together for ten years, particularly this year in this very special place. I also thank, humbly, Germany and Nuremberg. We are seventy years out from a Nuremberg trial process that was filled with participants who could not have imagined the Germany, the Nuremberg city of human rights, and their sponsorship and teaching, that we all are beneficiaries of today. It is to the great credit of today\u27s generations of German leaders that they have built this Nuremberg. My topic, The Legacy of Nuremberg, is not a Justice Robert H. Jackson topic, although I will make some points that concern Jackson or are Jacksonian. I am in this lecture trying to imagine some of how I think Justice Jackson and his Nuremberg trial colleagues would have thought seventy years ago, looking ahead to our day and farther, about the potential legacies of the Nuremberg trial

The Nuremberg Roles of Justice Robert H. Jackson

This lecture covers the background of Robert H. Jackson and the story of Nuremberg, which is Jackson\u27s Nuremberg. The program of this Nuremberg conference states that Prof. Barrett will speak about The Crucial Role of Robert H. Jackson. In fact, there were multiple Jackson roles at Nuremberg—many, many roles and moments were encompassed in the undertaking that has come to be so significant historically that the primary, global meaning of the word Nuremberg today is, and probably always will be, the 1945-46 international trial of the principal surviving Nazi criminals. Justice Jackson\u27s Nuremberg was over 15 months of full time involvement in an unprecedented, post-World War, two continent, five major world capital, wreckage-strewn, military occupied, twenty-plus nation, alliance-based, alliance fraying, four language, multi-million page, prisoner-inundated, debris- and body- and victim-surrounded, cold, hungry and unsafe, Nazi-fearing, Germany-fearing, World War Ill-fearing, fact-finding, institution creating, law building, crime defining, criminal guilt proving, punishment imposing and historical record publishing human endeavor. Given all of that, to understand Nuremberg —Jackson’s Nuremberg roles and the 1945-46 proceedings before the International Military Tribunal ( IMT )—really requires one to look at Nuremberg not merely as a sixty-year-old finished product, preserved in the London conference record in forty-two volumes of trial transcripts, in ten volumes of trial briefs, documentary exhibits and interrogation transcripts and in the IMT\u27s judgment, all of which sit on library shelves throughout the world and much of which is available in virtual form on the Internet. History should see and remember Nuremberg from the front end: as it unfolded, and as Justice Jackson unfolded it; as something that was far from easy or foregone; and as something that in many ways could have turned out very differently. This sense of the contingency of Nuremberg is captured in many moments. Nuremberg was about that soup, and about flailing in it, and about managing to swim well enough not to drown in it, and thus about accomplishing what is commemorated today. Nuremberg was all of the dimensions that I have mentioned, including many, many people. At the top, however, Nuremberg was Robert H. Jackson—its course, its accomplishments and thus its legacy bear too distinctly the qualities and imprint of Jackson himself as Nuremberg\u27s distinctly gifted, and distinctly human, architect, chief prosecutor and leading figure to overlook this personal identification

Ortelius\u27s Map of the World and Homann\u27s Ship Model Map

Abraham Ortelius and Johann Baptist Homann were very successful cartographers who benefitted from the rising trend in curiosity cabinets during the Renaissance. Ortelius lived from 1527-1598 and was born in Antwerp, Belgium, and Homann became famous in Nuremberg, Germany during his life from 1663-1724. [excerpt

The Nuremberg Address Knowledge Graph

The research of European history across various time layers gives insights about the development of the European cultural identity. Nuremberg as one of the great European metropolises during the Middle Ages experienced a number of transformations throughout the centuries. Within the TRANSRAZ research project, Nuremberg and the development of its architecture and culture is recreated from the 17th to the 21st century. It will be available for researchers and the public by means of an interactive 3D environment. Goal of this poster paper is to discuss the ongoing work of connecting heterogeneous historical data from sources previously hidden in archives to the 3D model using knowledge graphs for a scientifically accurate exploration of Nuremberg. The contribution of this paper is the Nuremberg Address Knowledge Graph (NA-KG) which contains information of people and organizations in Nuremberg from unstructured data of Nuremberg address books

Photon- and Charge-Management in Advanced Energy Materials: Combining 0D, 1D, and 2D Nanocarbons as well as Bulk Semiconductors with Organic Chromophores

In this contribution, seminal works in the area of photon- and charge-management are highlighted with focus on covalent electron donor-acceptor conjugates built around porphyrins (Ps), on one hand, and 0D, 1D, and 2D nanocarbons, on the other hand. Photons in these conjugates are managed by Ps, while 0D, 1D, and 2D nanocarbons serve as the active component, which enable managing charges. With a few leading examples, it can be explored much beyond the simple photon- and charge-management characterization and emphasize photovoltaics and photocatalysis to convert and store energy. This contribution concludes by highlighting recent progress in mixing and matching the unique charge-management features of nanocarbons in the design of multidimensional nanocarbons.Fil: Cadranel, Alejandro.

PERTANGGUNGJAWABAN PENJAHAT PERANG DALAM PERANG DUNIA II SERTA IMPLIKASINYA BAGI HUKUM INTERNASIONAL

Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana pertanggungjawaban penjahat perang dalam Perang Dunia ke-II dalam Hukum Internasional dan bagaimana implikasi Perang Dunia ke-II bagi Hukum Internasional. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif, disimpulkan: 1. Pertanggungjawaban Penjahat Perang dijalankan menggunakan sistem pertanggungjawaban secara individu. Pengadilan Nuremberg dan Pengadilan Tokyo menetapkan pertanggungjawaban pidana individu untuk pelanggaran-pelanggaran terhadap hukum dan kebiasaan perang, dan juga terhadap pelanggaran-pelanggaran perang lainnya. Pengadilan Nuremberg dan Pengadilan Tokyo juga menghapuskan pembelaan berdasarkan perintah atasan, dan kekebalan atas dasar tindakan negara atau impunitas. Dengan demikian kepala negara pun tunduk pada pertanggungjawaban pidana individu. Bentuk punishment yang diberikan baik Pengadilan Nuremberg dan Tokyo terdiri dari penjatuhan hukuman mati (dengan cara digantung), penjatuhan hukuman seumur hidup, penjatuhan hukuman penjara berkisar 10 tahun hingga 20 tahun. 2. Pembentukkan International Criminal Court (ICC) merupakan produk IMT Nuremberg dan Tokyo. IMT Nuremberg dan Tokyo menjadi salah batu loncatan bagi dunia Internasional dalam pembentukkan ICC tersebut. Walaupun pada akhirnya keberadaan ICC terkesan hanya menjadi pelengkap saja dalam hukum internasional.Kata kunci: Pertanggungjawaban, Penjahat Perang Dalam Perang Dunia II, Implikasinya, Hukum Internasional
