Tokens: The
view
that
the
Nuremberg
principles
were
customary
international
law
became
indisputable
after
Resolution
3074
(
XXVIII
)
of
the
United
Nations
General
Assembly
of
3
December
1973
,
which
proclaimed
the
need
for
international
cooperation
in
the
detection
,
arrest
,
extradition
and
punishment
of
persons
guilty
of
war
crimes
and
crimes
against
humanity
.
One
may
add
here
that
the
position
has
also
been
maintained
and
adopted
by
judgments
of
international
ad
hoc
criminal
tribunals
that
“
since
the
Nuremberg
Charter
,
the
customary
status
of
the
prohibition
against
crimes
against
humanity
and
the
attribution
of
individual
criminal
responsibility
for
their
commission
have
not
been
seriously
questioned
”
[
Tadić
case
,

]
.
In
any
event
what
is
important
for
the
purposes
of
our
case
is
the
fact
that
,
at
the
time
when
the
offences
attributed
to
the
applicants
were
committed
,
“
crimes
against
humanity
”
were
unquestionably
established
as
offences
under
customary
international
law
.
