On Nov. 21, 1945, Justice Robert H. Jackson delivered his opening statement at Nuremberg. Based on the original recordings held at the World Court, this is Part 2 of his Opening. Sections presented here include "Terrorism and Preparation For War," "Experiments n Aggression," "War of Aggression," "Conspiracy With Japan," "Crimes in the Conduct of War," "The Law of the Case," "The Crimes Against Peace," "The Law of Individual Responsibility," "The Political, Police and Military Organizations," and "The Responsibility of This Tribunal."
