Abstract

The present work analyzes the contribution of the Nuremberg Tribunal to the shaping of the concept of crimes against humanity, particularly in the sphere of the prevention of the occurrence of new atrocities, such as those experienced in our recent history. The study approaches the need to review the past, reinforcing the warning that intolerance contributes to social, political, and international chaos. The investigation is also justified by the need to revise the historical aspects of the context in which the International Criminal Court was created, with the aim of punishing the most serious crimes against humanity. The present work analyzes the process by which the ICC was formed, with a focus on its historical and legal features, highlighting iconic cases to go on trial at the Court, if in existence when the events occurred.
