| Abstract: | Philippe Sands’ 2013 Tanner Lectures - The Great Crimes – explores the origins, consequences and tensions relating to ‘genocide’ and ‘crimes against humanity’, two international crimes that entered into the world of international law in the Nuremberg Trial.
The first lecture (‘The Tale’) describes the interweaving lives of three men. Hersch Lauterpacht, the Whewell Professor of International Law at the University of Cambridge who helped bring ‘crimes against humanity’ into international law, focused on the role of the law to protect the individual. Rafael Lemkin, a visiting Professor at Duke University Law School, coined the term ‘genocide’, which focuses on the protection of group. Hans Frank, who acted as a lawyer for Hitler’s lawyer and was later appointed Governor General of Nazi occupied Poland, where he was involved in the killing of more than three million people. The three men were all connected to the city of Lemberg/Lwow (now Lviv in the Ukraine), and later faced each other in the Nuremberg courtroom. |
