Jackson's opening statement at Nuremberg, delivered on 21 November 1945, the second day of the trial of the major German war criminals before the International Military Tribunal, is one of the great speeches in the history of law. Jackson, a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, had helped negotiate the London Charter of August 1945, by which the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union created the Tribunal.
