What were charges framed by Inter national military tribunal to prosecute Nazi?
Answers
The IMT had indicted the defendants on charges of crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The IMT defined crimes against humanity as "murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation...or persecutions on political, racial, or religious grounds."
A fourth charge of conspiracy was added (1) to cover crimes committed under domestic Nazi law before the start of World War II and (2) so that subsequent tribunals would have jurisdiction to prosecute any individual belonging to a proven criminal organization. Therefore, the IMT also indicted several Nazi organizations deemed to be criminal. These were the Reich Cabinet, the Leadership Corps of the Nazi Party, the SS, the Security Service (SD), the Secret State Police (Gestapo), the Stormtroopers (SA), and the General Staff and High Command of the German Armed Forces.
