Remembering Nuremberg

 

The International Nuremberg Principles Academy cordially invites you to attend its inaugural Nuremberg Academy Dialogue. The international dialogue will be held as an online webinar on Friday, 10 July 2026 at 6.00 pm CEST.

 

Organised as part of the 80 Years of Nuremberg Symposium in cooperation with the Robert H. Jackson Center, this online event launches a new series dedicated to exploring topical issues in the field of international criminal law.

 

The first Dialogue, titled “Remembering Nuremberg”, will examine how the Nuremberg trials have been remembered and reinterpreted over time, how they continue to shape international criminal law and accountability mechanisms today, and what “remembering Nuremberg” can teach us in responding to contemporary conflicts and mass atrocities.

 

Confirmed speakers include Ambassador Stephen Rapp, Senior Fellow at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum Center for Prevention of Genocide and Georgetown University Center for National Security Law, former US Ambassador-at-Large for Global Criminal Justice, Professor Gerry Simpson, Professor of Public International Law at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and Professor Annette Weinke, Senior Researcher at the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena.

The dialogue will be chaired by Dr Viviane Dittrich, Deputy Director of the International Nuremberg Principles Academy.

 

The Dialogue will address themes such as the interplay of law and politics as well as justice and memory in shaping contemporary approaches to justice and accountability, perspectives on the Nuremberg trials over time, the enduring influence of the Nuremberg Principles on institutions including the International Criminal Court and critiques of the trials including victors’ justice. It will also explore contemporary representations and interpretations of the Nuremberg tribunal in film, literature, and popular culture, shaping public understandings of international law, justice and memory.

 

The event is free and open to the public, addressed to a global audience of legal professionals, academics, scholars and civil society representatives. To attend the event, please register here.

 

The Nuremberg Academy Dialogue Series was initiated in light of the 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials. Through this event series convened by Dr Viviane Dittrich the Academy provides a forum for dialogue on topics of continuing importance and current significance and thereby seeks to promote public understanding of international law.
