War crimes: Last Nazi trials demonstrate path to individual accountability

The ongoing trials in Germany of a former Nazi concentration camp guard and secretary demonstrate a path to individual accountability for past, present and future war crimes worldwide. ‘There is no statute of limitations for international criminal law,’ says TJ Adhihetty, Co-Chair of the IBA War Crimes Committee and Adjunct Professor at Osgoode Hall Law School within York University. ‘These cases […] demonstrate that it doesn’t matter if an arrest warrant is issued tomorrow against you. It can be issued against you in 15 years [or beyond].’
