Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Persian Gulf: The Question of War Crimes: Hearing Before the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, One Hundred Second Congress, First Session, April 9, 1991
Over 40 years ago, after the Nuremberg trials that followed World War II, Justice Jackson wrote, If the nations which com mand the great physical forces of the world want the society of na tions to be governed by law, the Nuremberg principles may contrib ute to that end.
A few years earlier, in his opening speech as chief Nuremberg prosecutor, Justice Jackson had said that, the principle of person al liability is a necessary and logical one if international law is to render real help to the maintenance of peace.
