Nuremberg Tribunal
This famous international trial had a major impact on history around the world and assisted with the many cases related to the crimes of conspiracy, crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity that came after.
The counts were:
-Crimes against conspiracy
-Crimes against peace
-War crimes
-Crimes against humanity
The Nuremberg Tribunals, created justice and led up to many other conventions. Because of the Nuremberg Trials, the world could serve justice correctly and make laws to try to prevent events like this from ever happening again. Although it did occur again in events such as Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia. The Tribunal however, did act as a guide for many of these acts of genocide.

Rwanda
"The Rwandan genocide resulted from the conscious choice of the elite to promote
hatred and fear to keep itself in power. This small, privileged group first
set the majority against the minority to counter a growing political
opposition within Rwanda. Then, faced with RPF success on the battlefield
and at the negotiating table, these few power holders transformed the
strategy of ethnic division into genocide. They believed that the extermination campaign would
reinstate the solidarity of the Hutu under their leadership and help them win
the war, or at least improve their chances of negotiating a favorable peace.
They seized control of the state and used its authority to carry out the massacre."

Yugoslavia
"Ethnic Cleansing is a process in which advancing army of one ethnic group
expels civilians of other ethnic groups from towns and villages it
conquers in order to create ethnically pure enclaves for members of their
ethnic group. More than two hundred thousands civilians have been killed in
Bosnia and Croatia since the beginning of the war. Tens of thousands of
women were raped, some of them more than a hundred times, while their sons
and husbands were beaten and tortured in concentration camps like Omarska
and Manjaca. Millions lost their homes due to a process called "ethnic cleansing."
