	War crimes
		Crimes in Austria were treated by the Nuremberg Tribunal as crimes against humanity because Austria was considered to be part of Germany.
		However, as Telford Taylor points out, under article 6 of the charter, these were not crimes against humanity because they were not part of a conspiracy to commit crimes against peace and were committed before the outbreak of the war.
		The failure of the conspiracy charge against Seyss-Inquart and the dubious basis for the judgement on count two suggests that had the Allies done better research he need not have been charged on these counts.

	Reflections on a Political Trial , by Noam Chomsky
		It will persist no matter what the courts decide in the Boston conspiracy case or in the cases of the hundreds of resisters who are receiving heavy sentences for their conscientious refusal to become involved in what they regard as war crimes and other illegitimate acts of a government bent on global repression.
		The defendants themselves, though united in their general commitment to resistance, were in fact associated with quite different organizations and, very likely, disagree among themselves on many fundamental political and moral issues relating to the war and the draft.
		A conspiracy charge is a vague one; it can be a dangerous weapon in the hands of a government that is pressed to carry out political persecution when the legitimacy of its use of authority is challenged.

	International Crimes Against the Peace (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The earliest origins of international law and of codes governing crimes against the peace can be traced to the rules for the conduct of war.
		On 1927, the Assembly of the League of Nations declared that a war of aggression was an international crime. Thus, the process of codifying international criminal law had begun, but the establishment of an international court with jurisdiction to determine whether the code had been violated was not yet seriously contemplated.
		Despite its imperfections, the existence of a definition arrived at by consensus was another reflection of the universal to bring illegal acts of warfare under international legal control. The definition also cleared the way for resumed work on an international penal code and criminal court.

	Conspiracy to Commit War Crimes

		It is sufficient for the Prosecution to show that a defendant was a leader, an organizer, instigator, or accomplice who participated either in the formulation or in the execution of a Common Plan or Conspiracy to commit Crimes against Peace.

		It is this charge of levying and maintaining “a cruel war in the land against the parliament and kingdom” that provides the basis for the assertion that the trial of Charles I is the first war crimes trial and an unacknowledged precedent for the Nuremberg War Crimes trials.
		Count Two of the Indictment charges the defendants with committing specific crimes against peace by planning, preparing, initiating, and waging wars of aggression against a number of other States.
		By contrast, the recent war crime trials have focused on traditional war crimes and the related concepts of crimes against humanity and genocide, and not on trials for conspiracy to commit crimes against peace.

		AGGRESSION AGAINST THE U.S.S.R. The aggressive war phase of the case against the Nazi conspirators is, in the view of the American prosecution, the heart of the case.
