Today marks the 60th anniversary of start of the Nuremberg Trials.
The principles laid down by the Trials should not be forgotten - see this background from israelinsider.
It's an important day - perhaps made even more relevant today with conflicts around the world and some people taking a stand against what is happening in the name of, or by, their Government. Just reflect on those Israeli soldiers who have refused to serve in relation to the Palestinian conflict and some US soldiers who resisted being "involved" in what they regard as an unjust and improper invasion of Iraq.
Yahoo News also has an interesting piece on the significance of the day and how the world, including the USA, should "deal with" what is happening in the 21st century.
A more detailed analysis of the Trials and everything relating to them can be found here.
