| Zusammenfassung: | If the legal concept of crime against humanity was definitely created during
the Nuremberg Trials, it was in fact elaborated as a philosophical notion since
the Allies' declaration of May 24th, 1915 concerning Armenian genocide: the
Allies then evoked a “crime against the laws of humanity”. By supranational
definition, these laws suppose a human right superior to the State right, and, as
a consequence, a right to interfere and intervene. Discussed during the Conference on Peace (1919), this notion failed in its implementation after the war, a
failure that is due, among other reasons, to the inadequacy of the Conference
on Peace and to the invalidation of the Treaty of Sèvres of 1920. |
