The Nuremburg Trials

The Nuremburg trials were the trials set up for the Nazi war criminals at the end of WW2. Out of all of them, a relatively small amount of them were hanged. The questions I'm here to answer today are as follows: What was morally right about the Nuremberg Trials and what was morally wrong? Was it all just a cover for statism? First, of all, the Nuremburg trials were morally right because the Nazi warlords deserved justice. They didn't deserve to be let free, as they had murdered thousands, but if we drug them out into the streets and shot them all, we would be no better than them. Thus, the Nuremburg trials were mostly morally right. However, they were also used a show of how powerful the allied leaders were.

As for the second question, the trials were not just covers for statism. The Nazis simply needed a trial. At least, that was how it started out. The Americans and Russians made it into a show of power and how much control they had over the new world order.

The Nuremburg trials were an interesting combination of statism and justice.
