“Having reviewed the pertinent state practice and opinio juris between 1945 and 1975, the Trial Chamber concludes that from the earliest inception of crimes against humanity within the Nuremberg Charter and CCL 10, there was already a significant tendency to delink these crimes from armed conflict. This tendency to view crimes against humanity as grave international crimes not inherently connected to armed conflict gained momentum in the aftermath of the Nuremberg era and constituted settled law by 1975. The Trial Chamber therefore affirms its earlier finding in Case 001 that the armed conflict nexus was not part of the definition of crimes against humanity within customary international law between 1975-1979”.

A védelem fellebbezett (Appeal Document, Table of Authorities). Az ügyészség eljárásjogi alapon kérte a fellebbezés elutasítását (Response), amelynek márciusban a Legfelsőbb Bíróság helyt adott (Decision). A védelem leghamarabb az ítélet elleni fellebbezésben támadhatja meg az emberiesség elleni bűncselekmények és a fegyveres konfliktus közötti kapcsolat hiányát megállapító bírói döntést.
