- Human Rights After Hitler is the culmination of ten years archival research that revises established understandings of the Allied response to the Holocaust, the origins of International Criminal Law and reframes reform of international legal processes today. The research required declassification and analysis of charges against 36,000 Axis personnel in the 1943-1948 by the seventeen nation United Nations War Crimes Commission. The archives include charges concerning Auschwitz during rather than after the war, that Adolph Hitler had been indicted as head of state, and that Crimes Against Humanity had been developed in 1944 – eighteen months before the Nuremberg Tribunal.
