The Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom and France entered into an agreement on trying main war criminals at the London Conference on August 8, 1945.
The International Military Tribunal (IMT) commenced in Nuremberg, Germany, on November 20, 1945. Political and military leaders of the Nazi Germany faced the IMT and were accused of crimes against peace and humanity. Most state institutions of the Third Reich were declared “criminal” as well.
The IMT ended on October 1, 1946 by the military sentencing. It was the most important joint legal action of the states that triumphed over the inhumane regime of the Nazi Germany and delivered the fair justice. The Nuremberg trials laid the foundation of the basis of the modern humanitarian law and political ethics in the modern world.
The postage stamp depicts a judgment hall where the Nuremberg trials took place. The souvenir sheet margins feature a portrait of Iona Nikitchenko, a USSR Member of the Tribunal, and Roman Rudenko, USSR Chief Prosecutor, as well as a court house and the document of the proceedings.
