American judge Francis Biddle, in part, read the Tribunal's reasoning: by signing the 1928 Kellogg-Briand Pact, Germany had renounced war, making aggressive war "illegal in international law" and a crime for those who wage it.

Verdicts came the next day.

We said we wouldn't trend-chase. We did it twice this week. Everyone's sharing their 90s throwbacks to the decade's quintessential rock ballad, Iris (shot out to WNY's own Goo Goo Dolls!) -- ours just start in the 1890s. #RobertHJackson #history #throwback

As we know, more was in store. Jackson would go on to be Attorney General, Associate Supreme Court Justice, and Chief US Prosecutor at the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg.

#RHJacksonCenter #SummerSaturday #TakeTheTour #RobertHJackson

Most people know Robert H. Jackson as the Chief U.S. Prosecutor at Nuremberg, but did you know he also personally oversaw the organization of the evidence itself?

#RHJacksonCenter #Nuremberg #RobertHJackson #InternationalJustice #RuleOfLaw

Jackson warned against politically motivated prosecutions, stating that "the greatest danger of abuse of prosecuting power comes from pressures to go after somebody, rather than to go after crime."
