what important principle did the nuremberg trials demonstrate
The Legal Principles from the Nuremberg Trials are: 1  Anyone who commits international crime is guilty. 2  Guilty under international standards technically means there are no punishments, but punishments will be given out. 3  Being at a high position doesn't relieve someone from punishment.here was a whole series of Nuremberg Trials, starting with the Trial of the Major War Criminals in 1945-46. Of the 24 members of the Nazi leadership, three were acquitted, twelve were sentenced to death by hanging and the rest were handed prison sentences ranging from ten years to life.
