 Catholica: A passionate argument against capital punishment - Dr Andrew Thomas Kania
During Jodl's trial, the primary French judge, Professor Henri Donnedieu de Vabres (1880-1952), a Professor from the University of Paris, and a pre-World War II architect of the notion of an International Criminal Court, argued that to convict Jodl would be a great miscarriage of justice.
According to Donnedieu, Jodl had no allegiance to Nazism, and the charge of a "conspiracy to wage war", held against the defendant was unjust.
Yet General Jodl, sitting in the same pen as some of the most infamous names, most recognizable faces and despicable personalities of the 20th Century, despite these personal protestations of innocence and those of Donnedieu, was found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging.

In 1922, the Treaty of Washington relative to the use of submarines and asphyxiating gases during time of war was adopted, providing that violators would be treated as pirates, thus permitting any state party to exercise universal jurisdiction over suspects.

 Universal Jurisdiction: The duty of states to enact and enforce legislation: Chapter 1: Definitions
The phrase is a modern adaptation of the phrase aut dedere aut punire (surrender or punish) used by Grotius in De Jure Belli ac Pacis, Bk.
It would be better to use the phrase aut dedere aut prosequi (extradite or prosecute), as used by a leading commentator, although this phrase still does not capture all the nuances of the duty.
The principle is more accurately reflected in the obligation in provisions of various treaties, such as Article 7 of the Convention against Torture, of the state where the suspect is located, if it does not extradite that person, to submit the case to its competent authorities for the purpose of prosecution.
