I&#x27;ve always wondered about this. Not only were the actions legal in Germany at the time but the international laws and human rights didn&#x27;t exist yet either.<p>If you also consider that recently many dictators and criminals never even went to the The Hague despite international involvement (Gaddafi, Hussein, Bin Laden, ...) it seems a lot like it&#x27;s just a handy tool we pull out when it&#x27;s convenient rather than the moral authority it was intended to be.<p>I&#x27;m all for stopping the bad guys, but &quot;justice&quot; seems to be entirely arbitrary if you look close enough.
