Nuremberg still matters

This month marks the 75th anniversary of the conclusion of the Nuremberg Trials. In my piece for The Times of Malta (14.X.2021), I argue why it is essential to remember what was at stake and why this remains relevant:

Nevertheless, to excuse them because they were carrying out orders is unacceptable; their crimes permitted the perpetuation of such regimes."
