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?

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.
