From December 1944 until the end of March 1945, there existed a forced labour camp for Hungarian Jews in Engerau (today town district Petrzalka of the Slovakian capital Bratislava), which war part of the "Reich Defense Line" ("Wüdostwall"). There, more than 2000 Hungarian Jews had to work like slaves, digging up entrechments to "defend" the German Reich against the approaching soviet troops. Approximate 400 of the forced labourers died of exhaustion, deseases or were beaten to death by Viennese SA men. During the last days of WW II the camp was evacuated. A spezial detachment shot those were sic kor unfit to march, others were killed while the following footmarch to Bad Deutsch-Altenburg. Destination was the concentratio camp of Mauthausen. Those abominable crimes caused a series of legal proceedings in post war Austria against more than 70 accused - the so called "Engerau-trias". In five main trials between 1945 and 1954 against 21 defendants the Vienna "Peoples Court"--A spezial court with the task to punish nazi-crimes - imposed 9 death sentences and 1 life imprisonment. The publication analyzes the legal actions of this spezial court on the basis of the trial records located in the district court in Vienna, puts the proceedings in the lager context of the coping with the Nazi past by Austrian courts, but also in Austrian society, presents biographies of judges, attorneys and counsels of the trials, describes the coverage in the newspapers and gives attention to the gender-aspect and the reflection of the "Engerau-trials" in historiography. This is the first publication, which gives a systematic overview of the first ten years of the 2nd republic focussing post war judiciary in the soviet occupation zone and the archievements of Austrian judiciary in respect to punishing nazi-crimes on the basis of the most extensive Holocaust proceeding in Austria.

"The U.S. Army 7708 War Crimes Group investigated atrocities committed in Germany and Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II. These young Americans gathered evidence, interviewed witnesses, apprehended suspects and prosecuted defendants at trials held at Dachau. From the ruins of the Third Reich arose a Nazi underground that preyed on Americans--especially members of the WCG"--

Die Arbeit behandelt am Beispiel der Verfahren gegen ehemalige Angehörige der Sicherheitspolizei für den Bezirk Bialystok die Strafverfolgung von NS-Verbrechen durch die westdeutsche Justiz. Die Organisation der Deportationen im Jahr 1943 aus den jüdischen Ghettos des deutsch besetzten nordostpolnischen Bezirks in die Vernichtungslager Auschwitz und Treblinka war Gegenstand eines Strafprozesses vor dem Schwurgericht in Bielefeld. Die Angeklagten wurden am 14. April 1967 wegen ihrer Beteiligung an den Deportationen aus Bialystok und Grodno der "gemeinschaftlichen Beihilfe zum gemeinschaftlichen Mord" an mehreren tausend Juden schuldig gesprochen. Der ehemalige Kommandeur der Sicherheitspolizei und ein Abteilungsleiter seiner Dienststelle wurden in einem weiteren Fall wegen Beihilfe zum Mord verurteilt. Das Gericht erbrachte den Nachweis, dass sie im Februar 1943 die Erschießung von 100 Bialystoker Juden veranlasst hatten. Anhand dieser Verbrechen werden - vor dem Hintergrund rechtsphilosophischer und rechtsdogmatischer Ansätze und auf der Grundlage von Tonbandmitschnitten der Hauptverhandlung - die Logik der juristischen Aufklärung und die gerichtliche Wirklichkeitsrekonstruktion im Verhältnis zur forensischen Interaktionsdynamik analysiert.

For decades the history of the US Military Tribunals at Nuremberg (NMT) has been eclipsed by the first Nuremberg trial-the International Military Tribunal or IMT. The dominant interpretation-neatly summarized in the ubiquitous formula of ""Subsequent Trials""-ignores the unique historical and legal character of the NMT trials, which differed significantly from that of their predecessor. The NMT trials marked a decisive shift both in terms of analysis of the Third Reich and conceptualization of international criminal law. The first comprehensive examination of the NMT, this volume brings togeth

The drafters of the ICC's founding document, the Rome Statute, foresaw what would become the main challenge to the Court's legitimacy: that it could violate national sovereignty. To address this concern, the drafters added the principle of complementarity to the ICC's jurisdiction, in that the Court's province merely complements the exercise of jurisdiction by the domestic courts of the Statute's member states. The ICC honours the authority of those states to conduct their own trials. This ...

‘Operational incidents’ denotes misconduct, misdeeds or mishaps that occur on military operations, whether concerning the mistreatment of enemy soldiers, offences against civilians, conflict of varying levels within one’s own forces, or accidents that lead to injury or death within a theatre of operations. Alleged breaches of IHL or the disciplinary regulations of particular militaries require at the very least an initial assessment to determine the facts and then, if warranted, a more substantial investigation. The need for robust investigations, however, is not always matched by the will and the ability to undertake them. There is at last a sufficient body of experience on which we can reflect, in this volume, on such investigations, their challenges, and their likely evolution.

Long description: Dieser Band versammelt Beiträge unterschiedlicher disziplinärer Ausrichtung, die sich mit Formen und Verfahrensweisen des Tribunals auseinandersetzen. Der Name des Tribunals steht aufgrund seiner ambivalenten Geschichte einerseits grundsätzlich im Verdacht der Willkürjustiz, andererseits jedoch in jüngerer Zeit auch für internationale und hybride Institutionen, deren Aufgabe die Be- und Verurteilung fundamentalen Unrechts ist: die strafrechtliche Verfolgung von Kriegsverbrechen und „Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit“. Die hier veröffentlichtenTexte fragen nach der Rechtskultur des Tribunals, aber auch nach literarischen und anderen ästhetischen, bisweilen selbst tribunalartige Züge aufweisenden Formen der Darstellung von Kriegsverbrechen.
