University of Georgia School of Law Professor Emerita Diane Marie Amann recently presented “Impressions of Nuremberg 80 Years On – Impresiones de Núremberg 80 años después” as part of “De Núremberg a Buenos Aires: Legados de la justicia penal internacional y el futuro de la rendición de cuentas transnacional,” an international conference at Museo Memoria y Tolerancia in Mexico City, Mexico.

Amann examined legacies of the year-long war crimes trial which took place soon after World War II in Nuremberg, Germany, before an International Military Tribunal established by Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and the United States. After discussing some lesser known aspects, such as the roles of persons not affiliated with one of those four Allied states, Amann considered contemporary legacies of the landmark trial.

The University of Texas at Dallas joined the Museo Memoria y Tolerancia in cosponsoring the two-day conference.

Amann, who is Regents’ Professor Emerita and Emily & Ernest Woodruff Chair in International Law Emerita at Georgia Law, served for many years as a Faculty Co-Director of our Dean Rusk International Law Center. At present she is an Academic Affiliate at University College London Faculty of Laws.
