The major outcome of the Nuremberg Trials after World War II was the establishment of accountability for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide perpetrated during the Holocaust and the war. Held in 1945-1946, the trials prosecuted key leaders of Nazi Germany, addressing their role in the war and the atrocities committed. The Nuremberg Trials set a precedent for international law by affirming that individuals and leaders could be held accountable for their actions under international standards, laying the groundwork for future war crimes tribunals. They significantly influenced the development of human rights law and established principles of justice in global governance.
