The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military tribunals held after World War II to bring Nazi war criminals to justice. The trials were significant because they established the principles of individual responsibility for crimes against humanity and set a precedent for holding individuals accountable for their actions, even in times of war. The trials also showcased the international community's commitment to upholding human rights and justice in the aftermath of a devastating global conflict. Additionally, the trials helped to establish the framework for subsequent international criminal tribunals and the development of modern international law.
