Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov delivers a striking critique of the West’s early resistance to the Nuremberg Tribunal, revealing that Western leaders once preferred mass executions over legal trials and feared exposing their own pre-war dealings with Hitler. He points to the British naval agreement with Nazi Germany, the Munich appeasement, and the reluctance of the US and UK to support a tribunal that could uncover their role in enabling Hitler’s rise. Lavrov emphasizes that the Soviet Union was the driving force behind the tribunal’s creation and warns that key Nuremberg principles are being violated today.
