About This Course
Benjamin Ferencz, who, as Chief Prosecutor for the United States, was instrumental in convicting twenty two defendants for their participation in the murder of one million victims of the Holocaust, offers insight into the evolution of international criminal law since the groundbreaking trials at Nuremburg. As this riveting CLE course will explain, the creation of the United Nations coincided with a global struggle to determine whether crimes of aggression should be prosecuted. In this compelling lecture, Mr. Ferencz explores the recent and explosive developments involving crimes of aggression and the part he has played in trying to outlaw what the Nuremburg tribunal called “The Supreme International Crime.”
