The influence of the Holocaust on the Nuremberg trials was significant in that it highlighted the need for accountability for those responsible for mass atrocities. The trials set a precedent for the prosecution of individuals for crimes against humanity, genocide, and war crimes. The atrocities of the Holocaust also had a lasting impact on international law, leading to the development of the Genocide Convention and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Holocaust served as a catalyst for the recognition of the importance of human rights and the protection of individuals from mass violence.
