  • Summary

    The chapter focuses on the development of the UNWCC from its founding in late 1943 to the summer of 1945. It analyses its position at the nexus of inter-Allied debates on war crimes and demands for post-war justice. The chapter considers the flow of legal ideas through the organisation, and how those ideas, Allied inter-relations and knowledge of war crimes encouraged several representatives at the UNWCC to adopt a more expansive conception of the organisation’s role than that initially conceived by the British Foreign Office.
