About This Course

The Nuremberg Trials, deemed the “biggest murder trial in history,” was not the first tribunal to debate the legalities of warfare, but it may be the most far-reaching. Prosecuting twenty-two defendants charged with the murder of over a million people, Chief Prosecutor Benjamin Ferencz established a legal precedent that gave rise to an international criminal court and world better prepared for the protection of human rights. In this riveting CLE course, Benjamin Ferencz presents the case from the insiders perspective and explains how it served as the starting point for the Rome Statute, the conference that established an international criminal court and his role in its inception and the Preparatory Commission Sessions for its formation. Ferencz explains his role as a consultant to monitor its efforts to define aggression, to mobilize support for the ICC and addresses the misinformation often propagated by the media.
