Society prepares the crime; the criminal only commits it.
Chinese proverb
To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.
We must never forget that the record on which we judge these defendants today is the record on which history will judge us tomorrow.
