concept of crimes against humanity trials (hexbear.net)

I am watching a BBC doc about the Nuremberg trials. It is overall propagandizing against the concept of trying crimes against humanity at all. Due to, as described, the british position: it'll just be another chance for the defendants to present their position to the world so better to hang them and be done with it.

Q: Agree/disagree with the above? Both in the specific instance, and in general.

It was the first, but not the last, such proceeding. What are we learning from subsequent?

I'm taking in the rest of what you've said

I'm sorry that I'm not better at being succinct. I'm sure another person could have conveyed the same arguments in not quite as many paragraphs . . .

but I do want to clarify that when I described making people feel whole, I was talking about the main victim. Not appeasing their family

My bad here too, I definitely misread it at least partially. I'm sure it won't surprise you to know that it doesn't change the substance of what I would say all that much, but I still should have been more careful to represent what you said accurately.

No worries, I'm just sorting out how I actually feel about what you've said and under better conditions with a cooler head, I'd probably agree a lot more readily. Scrolling the news makes it hard to do though given the flood of new occurrences every day. I'm sure I'd think differently if the people had absolute power over what comes next, ala the original question posed by OP.

It was my bad for not being clear, I was sort of jumping between points while I was thinking about them. I do appreciate the substantive replies though.
