This volume is an invaluable resource for historians, legal scholars, and those interested in the ethical implications of war crimes. It invites readers to engage with the foundational principles of justice that emerged from unprecedented brutality, positioning these proceedings not only as legal documentation but also as a moral inquiry into humanity‘s capacity for evil and redemption.
