Thought For the Day: The Ultimate Step In Avoiding Periodic Wars, Which Are Inevitable In A System of International Lawlessness, Is To Make Statesmen Responsible to Law

“The ultimate step in avoiding periodic wars, which are inevitable in a system of international lawlessness, is to make statesmen responsible to law. And let me make clear that while this is first applied against German aggressors, the law includes, and if it is to serve a useful purpose it must condemn, aggression by other nations, including those which sit here now in judgment.” – Robert Jackson, at the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal (November 21, 1945)
