[@aypniasanagnosma]

Thanks RobertHJacksonCenter, for sharing these precious videos. The world needs to watch them. (A friend from Greece)

[@wardenphil]

The Nuremburg Trial was indeed a great tribute to justice.

[@ernest747]

...as understood by the United States

[@sagreen9120]

Agreed. Have a blessed day.

We need you today Justice Jackson!

Need what a hypocritical white man? Where was his leadership about the injustice of blacks at this time in his own country? Fkn hypocritical whites are something else I tell you

First I congratulate this renowned Institute for the valuable acquis and the relevant services for the preservation of American history. I suggest and request that the videos provided by the Institute are subtitled in several languages, among which, French, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese.

brilliant speech by a great jurist

[@seththomas9105]

When your chief prosecutor is a Supreme Court Justice, some serious shit is going on.

[@meredith218461]

This opening speech by Jackson is positively Shakespearian in its eloquence and gravitas. Has the world subsequently learnt any lessons from the appalling events exposed at Nuremberg? - you bet not!

[@louise-yo7kz]

Oh it is!

[@mikemcguinness1304]

Much as I respect me Jackson ......you've clearly never read ,or underplay Shakespeare

[@alexplotkin3368]

Great speech.

[@stanbass]

Hardly. You can't compare the IMT to the Stalinist show trials. The judges there were handed a piece of paper with the verdict already decided by the party. The defendants at the IMT had a shot, if a small one, to walk away free as three of them did.

[@tlcmc6451]

The thing that makes a show trial a show trial is that the verdict of death has already been decided and the trial is just for show. The Nuremberg trials were not show trials - the verdicts were not forgone conclusions. Some Nazis escaped punishment and/or the death penalty, as you correctly pointed out.

[@tomascuautlemartinez417]

What a Great speech !

[@silentsky1]

This speech is edited out of order. You should read a transcript first, before watching this. Or find a better video, if it exists.

[@ellenharold5191]

He was the Prosecutor at Nuremberg (a Judge in the United States).

[@ibenzawla]

One of my all time heroes.

[@user-et6jz8ss1b]

Totally agree with David S

[@steveowen4560]

Robert Jackson's untimely death was a great loss for America. I wish I could have known him.

[@user-et6jz8ss1b]

Me too! But, at least, we have his voice and speeches. Fundamental to listen in this turbious times!

[@911suri]

@roscogre Hitler's war certainly wasn't for justice. He wanted power, he wanted the German people (minus Jews etc) to rule the world. He planned the war long before it really began. I'm not defending the other two, just pointing out your mistake.

La humanidad no soportará otra infamia contra un gran sueño vivir.

[@johncarter44]

"The privilege of opening the first trial in history for crimes against the peace of the world imposes a grave responsibility. The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant, and so devastating, that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored, because it cannot survive their being repeated. That four great nations, flushed with victory and stung with injury stay the hand of vengeance and voluntarily submit their captive enemies to the judgment of the law is one of the most significant tributes that Power has ever paid to Reason. This Tribunal, while it is novel and experimental, is not the product of abstract speculations nor is it created to vindicate legalistic theories. This inquest represents the practical effort of four of the most mighty of nations, with the support of 17 more, to utilize international law to meet the greatest menace of our times-aggressive war. The common sense of mankind demands that law shall not stop with the punishment of petty crimes by little people. It must also reach men who possess themselves of great power and make deliberate and concerted use of it to set in motion evils which leave no home in the world untouched."

strange that KZbin hasn't removed this yet because it goes against enforcement of absolute power

Hey he said that C word.... Conspiracy.

Amen.

"Real Change You Can Believe In" Obama said - and "no one is above the law" in America, he said, a Constitutional Scholar no less, but Bush Jr never was put in the dock, as credible crimes of torture go unaddressed by those [ President and Congress ] sworn to uphold the laws, and wars of aggression launched on "false pretense" against Iraq and Afghanistan are maintained as if hundred of lies told by Bush Jr were permissible as long as Bush Jr believed that was the right thing to do.

oh please these so called "trials" were the hand of "vengeance" and justice had nothing to do with these "trials"

[@darknorth1241]

+maddogoz08 are you saying they should have given a more "fair" judgement? I dont see ho killing millions of people would give you a different punishment then death

[@wolniacha_tv]

aConfusedNiNja FTW yet another muppet

[@darknorth1241]

Sir Volnee can you explain how I am a muppet? tell me what would be a better judgement?

[@wolniacha_tv]

the thing u said is just biased. If u look closely, germans sentenced (not everyone) to death were no less bad or evil, than the soviet generals or people behind manhattan project, or burning down the tokyo with incendiary bombs killing maaany innocent lives - literally boiling them alive (any reason for that?). I mean, they should get a fair judgment, these "trials" were a farse. Many of the ordinary german soldiers, protecting hitler's bunker in may were just executed without any trial dude. Search patton's death for example and think who may be behind his death And just to be clear, im not justyfying any of the generals, but still it was a war.. and all that "crime against peace". There were double standards present at these trials so thats why i have my doubts towards this all thing.
