A repercussão do holocausto nas relações internacionais : o legado dos julgamentos de Nuremberg na formação do direito penal internacional e nas respostas globais aos crimes de guerra.

Abstract

This Final Paper analyzes the impact of the Nuremberg Trials on the consolidation of international criminal justice and global security. It begins with the context of the Nazi rise to power and the atrocities of World War II to understand how the International Military Tribunal of Nuremberg marked a turning point in holding individuals accountable for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The objective is to investigate how these trials influenced the creation of international principles aimed at protecting human rights and promoting global justice. The research is qualitative, based on historical and academic sources. The study demonstrates that Nuremberg established fundamental precedents for international law and consolidated the concept of individual responsibility for serious crimes, serving as the foundation for the International Criminal Court (ICC). It concludes that the trials were decisive in shaping a new legal and moral paradigm in the post-war period, strengthening historical memory and the defense of human dignity.
