The Nuremberg trials were a series of international criminal trials held after World War II to prosecute top Nazi leaders for their roles in the war and the atrocities committed during it. The trials, held in Nuremberg, Germany, marked a significant turning point in the development of international law and established the principle of individual responsibility for crimes against humanity. The trials resulted in the conviction of many high-ranking Nazi officials and paved the way for the development of modern international criminal law.
