SUMMARY:Nuremberg: A 2026 Simulation
DESCRIPTION:Step inside history with the Churchill Archives Centre as they reflect on their Nuremberg Trial Simulation\, an innovative educational program designed to immerse participants in the challenges and dilemmas faced by prosecutors\, judges\, and defendants during the 1945 trials. \nIn this session\, panelists will explain the structure\, objectives\, and outcomes of the simulation\, highlighting how participants experienced firsthand the complex legal\, ethical\, and moral questions that defined Nuremberg. They will also discuss the broader purpose of such simulations: to deepen understanding of international law\, accountability\, and the enduring lessons of Nuremberg for contemporary justice. \nAttendees will gain insight into how historical trials can be recreated for educational purposes\, the challenges of role-playing judicial proceedings\, and the reflections of participants who engaged in this unique experience.

SUMMARY:Nuremberg’s Legacy: the Crime of Aggression - an Update on the Special Tribunal for Ukraine and Broader Jurisdiction for the ICC
DESCRIPTION:Eighty years after the Nuremberg Trials\, the crime of aggression—first prosecuted under the charge of “crimes against peace”—remains one of the most complex and contested areas in international criminal law. This session explores how Nuremberg’s legacy continues to shape modern debates over accountability for acts of aggression and the evolving jurisdiction of international courts. \nExperts will examine current efforts to establish a Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine\, assessing both its legal foundations and its implications for the future of international justice. The discussion will also consider proposals to expand the International Criminal Court’s jurisdiction over aggression\, reflecting on how the Nuremberg precedent informs the pursuit of justice for unlawful uses of force today. \nThis timely conversation brings together leading voices in international law to ask: How far has the world come in holding leaders accountable for aggression—and how far do we still have to go? \n12:00pm EST in Jamestown\, Washington DC\, and New York // 17:00GMT in London\, Leicester\, and Cambridge // 18:00 CET in Nürnberg // 11:00am CST in Chicago and Independence \nRegistration coming soon!

SUMMARY:Closing Ceremony: How Did it End? Nuremberg from a Historical Perspective
DESCRIPTION:As the 80 Years of Nuremberg: An International Reflection symposium draws to a close\, this session returns to the history that began it all. How Did It End? Nuremberg from a Historical Perspective revisits the final days of the International Military Tribunal—its verdicts\, legacies\, and lessons for the generations that followed. \nHistorians will reflect on how the Nuremberg Trials reshaped the global understanding of justice\, responsibility\, and the rule of law. The discussion will explore what “justice” meant at Nuremberg\, how its conclusions were received across the world\, and how its outcomes continue to influence international criminal law\, human rights advocacy\, and collective memory today. \nThis closing program invites reflection not only on how the trials ended—but on how their pursuit of justice continues to shape the present. \n12:00pm EST in Jamestown\, Washington DC\, and New York // 17:00GMT in London\, Leicester\, and Cambridge // 18:00 CET in Nürnberg // 11:00am CST in Chicago and Independence \nClick Here to Register for the Zoom Webinar
