The International Nuremberg Principles Academy is cordially inviting you to attend the Nuremberg Forum 2025. The international, interdisciplinary conference will be held from 10 to 12 October 2025 at Courtroom 600 of the Nuremberg Palace of Justice, the historic venue of the Nuremberg trials.
The conference titled “Strengthening International Criminal Law: 80 Years since Nuremberg” will reflect on the historical evolution of international criminal law´s foundational norms and procedures, its impact, and its future.
From accusations of Siegerjustiz to the establishment of international structures espousing their values, the acceptance of the Nuremberg trials and principles has been an extraordinary and non-linear process. Today, eight decades after aggressive war was outlawed at Nuremberg, multilateralism, international law, and relevant international and regional human rights frameworks are facing renewed contestation and tremendous pushback. The panellists will contextualise the key challenges faced by international criminal law today and elaborate on the role of key stakeholders including courts, the states, the UN, civil society, and survivor communities in confronting them.
This year’s panellists include a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, the United Nations Legal Counsel, judges from international and domestic courts, leading scholars, and members of international human rights organisations. The official conference programme is available on the website of the International Nuremberg Principles Academy.
The Nuremberg Forum 2025 is open to all public free of charge and will be conducted in a hybrid format. To attend the conference, please register here.
