What was the aim of international military tribunal
The International Military Tribunal was set up at Nuremberg in 1945, six and a half months after the Second World War to conduct trials on the Nazis for their inhuman acts. These were considered as Crimes against Humanity and tried in a court where all the Allied powers had representation. All the crimes perpetrated by the Nazis during the course of the war against Jews, Poles, Russians and Czechs were condemned and some prominent Nazis were punished. The medical experiments conducted on the Jews were also condemned and the Nuremberg code of ethics in medicine were listed prohibiting the use of humans and the conducting of such inhuman and gruesome experiments without consent. The Nazi organisations like Gestapo, Secret Police and Stormtroopers were named as criminal organisations.
