The Allies
The Allied Leaders were determined to bring Nazi leaders to justice for their crimes. These feelings only grew in the final months of World war II. From 1945 to 1949, the Allies held the Nuremberg Trials in Nuremberg, Germany. This is the place where the Nazis held huge rallies. On December 9th, 1948, the UN passed the Genocide Convention. This was designed to overcome the claims of Nuremberg defendants that they had violated no laws.
